CHRIST CHURCH
The attractive city of Trieste is situated on a beautiful bay in the Adriatic, with an area of carst limestone hills rising up behind it. It has a population of about 220,000 and is not far from the border with Slovenia. There are good communications: it has an international airport, train and motorway connections as well as ferry services in the spring and summer months.
The city and its surroundings have rich cultural and tourist attractions. The 14th century cathedral of San Giusto overlooks much of the town where many churches, monuments, museums and a Greek theatre can be admired. The splendid castle of Miramare built for the Habsburg Emperor Maximillian in the mid 19th century, stands on its promontory by the sea.
The Trieste Anglican church of Christ Church in via San Michele 13 was built in neo-classical style and was inaugurated in June 1831. The importance of Trieste as a port and commercial centre was reflected in the lively church community which flourished until well after the end of the Second World War. Christ Church was also used by the British forces stationed in Trieste until 1954. The church was given to the comune of Trieste in 1985, after which extensive restoration work was carried out on the building. The Anglican community retains reserved rights and has exclusive use of the apse. However, the building is also used by other associations in accordance with the comune of Trieste.
