Castello di Duino / Devinski grad, Medieval castle in Duino Aurisina, Italy
The stone castle stands on a rocky cliff overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, with two distinct structures connected by paths and terraces.
Built in 1389 by Hugh of Duino on Roman outpost ruins, the castle became property of the Della Torre e Tasso family through marriage alliances.
Poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote his Duino Elegies at the castle during his stay, drawing inspiration from the coastal landscape and architecture.
The castle opens from 9:30 to 17:30 between April and September, with guided tours available through 18 rooms containing historical furniture and artifacts.
A World War II bunker built in 1943 by German forces lies within the castle grounds, serving multiple military functions before opening to visitors.
