Real estate property for warehouse use, known as "Warehouse 34", located in the centre of Trieste, in the Porto Vecchio area, a district that once housed the city's port and which today is in a state of decay. The building, spread over two levels, has undergone modifications over time, the last one in the 1950s. The building, which has not been used for some time, is in mediocre general maintenance conditions, with some highly degraded areas. The historic building needs to be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to host play/sports areas, green areas and open-air events/shows.
Viale Miramare (porto vecchio) - 34136 Trieste (TS) Warehouse 34 is located in a flat area between viale Miramare, the tracks and the seafront line which the warehouse overlooks. It is made up of the union of two distinct buildings: the historic building, of which only the façade remains, and the second building, which forms the extension towards the south, dating back to the 1950s.
The building has a rectangular layout, which reaches 142 m in length and is divided into two levels, most of which has now been demolished. The vertical structures are made of reinforced concrete frames with brick infill. The building rests on a sandstone base, called “perron”, and the main body is in stone masonry, while the façade has a regular set of holes in it with a round arch.
The raised body is made of solid bricks and can be reached by a small staircase. The roof is partially missing. A part of the building has been altered by the insertion of numerous small rooms made of bricks or concrete. The building has an external canopy of appreciable size, also mostly collapsed, with a reticular bearing structure and sheet metal infill. On the elevation facing the sea, a metal structure with an industrial function for handling materials can be found, albeit in a poor state of conservation. The external plasters are either missing or in a state of severe deterioration.
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 2 km from the “Trieste Centrale” railway station (3-5 minutes on foot) and from the city centre (4 minutes by car and 25 minutes on foot).
