Monfalcone, Coastal commune in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.
Located between the Karst hills and Adriatic Sea, Monfalcone features extensive shipyards and serves as the northernmost port of the Mediterranean Sea.
The area contained fortified villages called castellieri in prehistoric times and later developed thermal buildings known as Insulae Clarae during Roman occupation.
The regional maritime traditions manifest through seafood-based gastronomy, local festivals, and strong connections to shipbuilding industries.
The central railway station functions as a major transportation hub, connecting the Venice-Trieste and Udine-Trieste railway lines since 1860.
The medieval Rocca fortress stands above the city, offering views of both the industrial harbor and the surrounding Karst plateau landscape.
