Castelletto Geiringer, Historic villa in Scorcola hill, Trieste, Italy.
The villa presents a central building with two side towers offering views across the Gulf of Trieste from its hilltop position.
Architect Eugenio Geiringer built this residence in 1896, which later served as Wehrmacht headquarters during World War II from 1943 to 1945.
The building houses the European School of Trieste, providing education in English and Italian languages from nursery through middle school levels.
The villa maintains its original architectural elements while functioning as a state-recognized private school under Italian education ministry regulations.
During World War II, the Germans constructed underground tunnels beneath the villa, which speleologists later discovered during park exploration.
