Near the San Giusto castle and cathedral, this complex is divided in two; one part is the Museum of History and Art, and the other is the Orto Lapidario. It was built by the historical, Trieste patriot Domenico Rossetti and opened in 1843, and it is a beautiful garden where the base of the equestrian monument to Fabio Severo of the second Century can be found. This has fragments of an inscription that bears witness to the construction of city walls by Ottaviano Augusto in CE 32, and some funeral monuments. The cenotaph of Johann Joachin Winckelmann is also here, the famous German archeologist who was killed in Trieste in 1768. Near the cathedral there is an underground passage that leads to the remains of the roman monument, while the other garden is surrounded by the 15th Century city walls. The museum is in an enchanting, neo classical building, dating from 1925. There are sculptures in the atrium, found in digs near the Roman Theater, by Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, including a portrait of Petronio Modesto. The first room is dedicated to Egypt, and has a mummy, and the second room has the finds of an Italian mission to the Swart valley, in Pakistan. Part of the first floor is dedicated to prehistoric times, and another part to the roman era with objects found in nearby Aquileia. The last room is reserved for a collection of Greek vases, including one dating from 400 CE.
