点评:While I had a day to spare between my biking tour of Croatia and my plane from Venice to Bilbao, I thought I would spend the day in Muggia rather than Trieste. Sleepier town, better prices.
I walked up a long hill for a view of the Bay of Trieste. Up there the ancient basilica still stands in all its beauty. There are records of it since the 13th century, but based on a few items found during excavations, its construction probably dates back to the 8-9th century. Consolidated and restored in the course of time, it is built with local sandstone. It is divided into a nave and two aisles by arches leaning on pillars and the final part of the aisles and of the presbytery are separated by stone panels decorated with patterns. Remarkable is also the semicircular stone Ambon (pulpit), supported by thin columns and with a lectern decorated with sculptures. The inside is painted with a double cycle of Byzantinesque frescoes of the 14th and 15th centuries. They, were restored in 2019.
The church is the only remaining building to belong to the fortified site of Muggia Vecchia.
The Basilica sits above the old fishing port of Muggia, at the top of Monte Castellier 557 feet (170m), surrounded by a small archaeological park with ruins of the original Roman castrum dating to the 1st century BC. From here there is a fantastic panoramic view across the Bay of Trieste and all the way to the Slovenian border. The entire area on the top of the hill is in fact characterized by a number of remains spread among centuries-old oaks and Downy oaks.
Great space for a picnic, relaxation and views - and it only costs a small hike uphill to get here.

我爬上一座长长的山,欣赏的里雅斯特湾的景色。那里的古老大教堂仍然美丽地矗立着。自 13 世纪以来就有关于它的记录,但根据挖掘过程中发现的一些物品,它的建造时间可能可以追溯到 8-9 世纪。随着时间的推移,它经过加固和修复,是用当地的砂岩建造的。它被靠在柱子上的拱门分成一个中殿和两个过道,过道和长老院的最后部分被装饰有图案的石板隔开。同样引人注目的是半圆形的石制讲道坛,由细柱支撑,讲台上装饰着雕塑。内部绘有 14 世纪和 15 世纪的拜占庭式壁画。它们于 2019 年进行了修复。
这座教堂是穆贾韦基亚防御工事遗址唯一剩下的建筑。
大教堂坐落在穆贾古渔港上方,位于 557 英尺(170 米)的卡斯特利尔山顶部,周围环绕着一个小型考古公园,公园内有可追溯到公元前 1 世纪的原始罗马城堡遗址。从这里可以看到里雅斯特湾和斯洛文尼亚边境的壮丽全景。事实上,山顶的整个区域以遍布百年老橡树和绒毛橡树的众多遗迹为特色。
非常适合野餐、放松和欣赏美景 - 而且只需爬上一小段山路即可到达这里。
