Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s “Edificio 119”

Small-sized building, known as the "Old Customs", located in the centre of Trieste, in the Porto Vecchio area, a district that once housed the city's port, with its infrastructure, and which today is in a state of decay. The building only has one floor. The property, used until recently, is in fair general maintenance conditions. The historic building must be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to accommodate commercial, tertiary and residential functions.

Risk profile

The “Edificio 119” is located at the base of Pier III. The building, consisting of a single floor, has a rectangular layout with a wooden tiled roof and beams. The elevations are simple, with missing portions of the plaster decorations present in the sister building (120). The windows are in aluminium. The building is in a fairly good state of conservation, however, it has numerous excrescences of systems, including external ones. The simple structure, with stone masonry of good consistency, make the building anti-seismic.

The Porto Vecchio area is located in the central area of Trieste (population 198,417), and extends along the coastal strip between the town of Barcola and the Canale di Ponterosso (heart of the city); it is delimited by Viale Miramare and by the district of the central railway station, occupying an area of approximately 67 hectares. The port structures include five piers, four parallel and one oblique, forming as many basins, and approximately 3 km of quays. The settlement of Porto Vecchio is protected from the waters of the Adriatic by a 20-metre-wide breakwater which runs parallel to the quays for about 1 km, at a distance of about 130 meters from them. The depths of the port basin have a variable depth, with a maximum of 18 metres.
The construction of the historic buildings of Porto Vecchio took place in a period of time between the end of the 1800s and the early 1900s: their use was for the storage, conservation and parking of goods, from their arrival in the port to shipment and distribution to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Starting from the 1970s, there has been a progressive abandonment of the historic warehouses, as the main port activities have been transferred to the New Port, causing their slow degradation. The property is located about 300 meters from the “Trieste Centrale” railway station (3-5 minutes on foot), while the city centre is about 750 meters from the area (10 minutes on foot).
