It was erected in 1956 by the SE.L.A.D. (Section Labor Assistance Unemployed) of the Civil Engineers, an organization created after World War II by the GMA. On the floor of the terrace there is a wind rose engraved with the directions of the observable locations.

Slataper Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

South-east of the town of Santa Croce, on the top of Mount San Primo (278 m asl), there is the lookout dedicated to one of the most important Italian intellectuals of the early twentieth century: Scipio Slataper. From its top you can admire a splendid panorama of the Gulf of Trieste and the Miramare Castle.

The current structure, on whose terrace there is a wind rose, was erected in 1956 by SE.L.A.D. (Section Work Unemployed Assistance), a body of Civil Engineering created after the Second World War. At the time, the unemployed who obtained a subsidy had to simultaneously lend their work to public works, such as roads, gardens, sidewalks, canopies and lookouts.

Sage Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Salvia path, dedicated to the Italian mountaineer Tiziana Weiss, is a riot of colors and scents. The white karst rocks bring out the dark green of the juniper and the warm tones of the sumac shrubs. The views of the blue sea are simply breathtaking. When the Bora blows and the sky is clear you can see the Croatian coast in the distance.
