Triumphantly rising on a hill, Victory Lighthouse of Trieste greets both visitors driving the scenic local roads and sailors coming by sea. Take Strada del Friuli from Trieste downtown to the nearby Prosecco village and you'll encounter this lighthouse topped by a winged statue of Nike, Greek goddess of victory. Built after World War I, the lighthouse illuminates Trieste's gulf and celebrates the city's annexation into the former Kingdom of Italy. Admission is free, but the structure is only open for visitors during certain months of the year. Please check the website for the timetable showing opening dates and times.

  • From the Faro della Vittoria you can get great views of the gulf. The building itself is interesting, good example of architecture with a propagandistic agenda. It's free to access but a bit out of...

  • Stunning view, cozy place. It was closed, actually, but I managed to make some photos of the faro itself:) The area it stands on is very cozy. It is a real Italian town as I imagined it: narrow streets, cute houses and a view of a gulf.
  • Beautiful view- one of the best in Trieste. For now enter into the lighthouse is free and working only the main stage. But it still very beautiful. You can get there by public bus #42 and #44.
  • Parking is limited on the street with a walk up however there is a free elevator up. big enough for two. i do not believe it is wheelchair accessible due to the elevators size
  • A must go place if you visit Trieste. Also, free entry..
  • Very nice view towards the whole bay area. Climbing the stairs takes a few minutes and a few extra breaths, but it is worth it when you feel the breeze on top. Tour is limited to only 15 minutes, but that's almost enough :)
