...Tempo fa scattai alcune foto della mia famiglia a Trieste con sullo sfondo il castello di Miramare.
Chissà quanti lettori di CIAO COM avranno fatto altrettanto; foto ricordo del genere vengono scattate in continuazione in molti luoghi così anche in questo splendido parco, meta di migliaia di turisti ogni anno.
Io, personalmente, però, mancavo di qualcosa: portavo a casa le immagini impresse sulla pellicola, ma senza conoscere alcun cenno storico di questo bel luogo vicino Trieste.
In seguito ho scoperto che il castello di Miramare fu costruito su progetto di Carl Junke tra il 1855 e il 1860 su comissione dell'arciduca di Austria Massimiliano d'Asburgo che, nel 1850 a 18 anni voleva farsi "una casa" con giardino nei pressi di Schonbrun, ma poi, cambiando idea, acquistò il promontorio nei pressi della baia di Grignano (TS).

...On the first night of our recent visit to York we ventured out to find somewhere to eat as the hotel was a tad expensive for us commoners!
When we entered the city walls we asked the first people we met where the best area/restaurant was to eat. Both of them immediately answered Akbars, an Asian restaurant, which luckily was just around the corner on George Hudson Street.
