On calm days this pier is perfect for a stroll, a chat, or a sunset view. But when the Bora roars, reaching the very end – the “Bollard of the Winds” – becomes a daring challenge. In the past, when winters were colder, the pier often froze over, a rare sight today.

When the Bora blows, the hundreds of sailing boats moored at the docks perform a unique concert: halyards clinking against masts in a rhythm only the wind can compose. A sound poem of Trieste.
