Trieste Campo Marzio Railway Museum, Railway museum in Trieste, Italy.
The Trieste Campo Marzio Railway Museum occupies five tracks of a former passenger station, displaying locomotives, rail carriages, and equipment spanning multiple historical periods. The collection ranges from early steam engines to later rolling stock and shows how railway technology evolved over time.
The building served as Trieste Staatsbahnhof during the Austro-Hungarian era, linking the city to Central European rail networks. After the region's political changes, the rail complex was later converted into a museum to preserve railway heritage.
The exhibits include reconstructed ticket offices and station master rooms from the early 1900s, showing how railway stations functioned in everyday life. These spaces let visitors see how people worked and moved through such places during that period.
The best time to visit is outside the summer months when the facility is less crowded. Comfortable shoes are recommended since you will walk across multiple track areas and the ground can be uneven.
Among the vehicles is a German armored railway car from World War II, a rare example of military rail equipment from that period. The locomotive 728.022 from Floridsdorf factory represents the technical quality of Austro-Hungarian engineering.
