Portopiccolo: living between two castles, suspended between history, nature, and design
Portopiccolo is a little gem nestled between two exceptional landmarks. On one side is Duino Castle, still inhabited today by the Turn und Taxis princely family and guardian of centuries of European history. On the other, the famous Miramare Castle, overlooking the sea like a poem in stone, also chosen by Empress Sissi as a place of soul and rest.
Two icons that tell the story of a unique territory, where beauty is not the exception, but the rule.
A view that cannot be described, but can be experienced
Between these two symbols lies Portopiccolo, a contemporary village built on the site of an ancient karst stone quarry. A place that has been able to regenerate itself without losing its soul: here, rock sculpted by time dialogues with the most essential design, in a perfect balance between elegance and authenticity.
Behind it lies the Karst and its white stones, nature trails, and protected reserves. In front of it, the Adriatic Sea opens up in a crystal-clear embrace towards the Gulf of Trieste, with Croatia on the horizon and, on clear days, even the Friulian Dolomites in the background. Here, every glimpse is an invitation to wonder.

A new village with the ancient soul of the territory
Portopiccolo was built on the site of a former quarry: a place that helped build the cities and towns of this land, and which today has been given a new lease of life as a symbol of rebirth and respect for the environment. Every stone, every staircase, every glimpse recalls the deep connection with the Karst and its identity. Living here means embracing a territory, not just staying there.
