About
Jutting out into the Adriatic Sea, just a few miles from Trieste, Miramare Castle emanates grandeur. With tall white towers, surrounded by lush parkland grounds, it's impossible not to imagine yourself living in such a luxurious location. Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg built Miramare Castle for himself in the mid-19th century. Old Max is long gone, but his paradisaical cliffside mansion lives on for you to explore. Your Miramare Castle tickets include access to the historical museum, as well as the beautiful Miramare Park and stables. Wander the halls of this opulent royal mansion, which retains its original furnishings. Then, bask among exotic trees in the park, many of which have roots in Maximilian's travels around the world. There's even a miniature 'castelletto', which Maximilian and his wife lived in while their fancy dream home was built!

Vestige of the Austrian Empire, Miramare Castle is enchantingly located on the Grignano promontory facing the Trieste Gulf on the Adriatic Sea, about 8 km / 5 miles northwest of the most north-easterly city of Italy, Trieste. The Austrian emperor Maximilian of Habsburg (Austrian archduke, and later Emperor of Mexico) commissioned the Viennese architect Carl Junker to build the residential palace between 1856 and 1860, and the castle preserves to this day the furniture and original decorations of the era. Miramare is surrounded by a sea shore park of 22 hectares / 54 acres, characterized by an impressive variety of plants, many of which were specially chosen by the archduke during his travels around the world as admiral of the Austrian Military Marine.
