Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s Warehouse 6

Real estate property used as a warehouse, 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 property, built in 1889, is in mediocre general maintenance conditions, with some heavily degraded areas. The building must be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to accommodate commercial, tertiary and residential functions.

Warehouse 6, which overlooks basin III, has a rectangular planimetric conformation, and is divided into three aboveground floors juxtaposed to an accessible base. The façade, oriented towards the sea, has low arched openings with false ashlar decorative frames. On the upper floors a succession of paired windows interspersed with openings for loading and unloading goods can be found. The opposite façade is characterized on the first floor by galleries, covered by canopies, with connecting functions. On the ground and first floors there is a series of cast iron columns supporting the gallery and the canopy.

The planimetric layout is characterized by the presence of a mesh of stone columns, while externally, under the galleries, there are cast iron pillars adorned with Corinthian capitals. The vertical structures are made with squared blocks of sandstone and cast iron columns, while the floors are made of beams and low-arched brick vaults. The partition walls on the upper floors are in solid brick. The distribution corridors between the two ends of the building have the function of compartmentalizing the building also for fire prevention purposes.

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 near the “Trieste Centrale” railway station and the historical centre of the city.
