From Monfalcone's yards come the largest cruise ships in the world: the shipbuilding tradition, begun in 1908, made the city a crossroads of workers from dozens of countries, and the MuCa shipbuilding museum tells the story inside the former workers' village. Above, the Rocca guards the first step of the Karst plateau.
The Karst is the other memory: Great War trenches and walkways trace the Isonzo front. In front, Marina Julia beach and the bay of Panzano look toward Trieste, half an hour by train.
