Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s Warehouse 125 “Caricabatterie”

Real estate property known as "Caricabatterie", located in the centre of Trieste, in the Porto Vecchio area, a district that once housed the port of the city, with its infrastructures, and which today is in a state of decay. The building, of historical interest, is on two levels. The building, which has not been used for some time, is in mediocre general maintenance conditions, with some highly degraded areas. The building must be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to accommodate commercial, tertiary and residential functions.

The building, built at the end of the 1800s, has an irregular layout and is divided into two floors above ground, for a total height of approximately 9.3 m. The building has been in disuse for a long time and is in poor maintenance conditions, with serious structural damage that makes it unsafe and unusable. The structure is made of thick sandstone load-bearing walls on the ground floor and partially plastered solid bricks on the first floor. The internal walls have a stone base with brickwork above; the ground floor boasts stone columns instead. The first floor is accessed by a single flight of stairs, in metal, which is in a sufficient state of conservation. The inter-storey floor consists of reinforced concrete slabs resting on a steel metal structure; the pitched roof consists of a system of wooden beams and joists that support a covering made of hollow tiles and shingles. The roof is in an advanced state of deterioration, with partial collapses detected in various areas. The window frames are mostly made of wood and glass, with iron doors.

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 very close to 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).
