The canal is a very short one but it does have two bridges over it and one of the bridges has an impressive statue of James Joyce on it.
Another bridge has a statue of the seated figure of Gabrielle D’Annunzio and many tourists have made idiots of themselves being photographed with him.
Which one is d’Annunzio?
Trieste looks a beautiful place and well worth visiting.
Enjoy the rest of your trip
