Muggia, Border commune in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.
Located on the eastern side of the Gulf of Trieste, Muggia extends along the Adriatic coast with a modern marina containing 500 berths.
The settlement originated as a fortified village in the 8th century BC, later becoming a Roman settlement known as Castrum Muglae.
The Gothic rose window and medieval frescoes in the Duomo reflect the architectural influences of both Venetian and Austrian periods.
