Risiera di San Sabba

A place of commemoration, in order never to forget

Risiera di San Sabba

Single example of a concentration camp in Italy.

Towards the end of the 19th century, a large complex of buildings was built to dry and store rice in the San Sabba quarter, on the outskirts of Trieste.

Sadly, however, these buildings became famous during the second world war for being a horrific Nazi concentration camp - the only one to exist in Italy.

Its history

Following the signing of the armistice on 8 September 1943, overseen by Trieste official Odilo Globočnik, the Risiera di San Sabba became a centre for the temporary imprisonment of captured Italian soldiers.

Yet very soon the prisoners considered most dangerous began to be murdered, with the old rice-drying facilities turned into a fully operational crematorium.

During the Nazi retreat in 1945, the crematorium and chimney were blown up in order not to leave any trace of the atrocities, but the Risiera di San Sabba remains a precious testament to the importance of preserving our Memory.

For this reason, it has been a civic museum since 1975. Things to visit include:

  • The death cell, where the prisoners considered most dangerous were held a few hours before being executed

  • The other cells for those who were to be deported in the following days

  • The Sala delle Croci, which displays personal objects stolen from Trieste’s Jews by the Nazis

  • An impression of the crematorium

  • A commemoration room

Visit la Risiera di San Sabba

The Risiera di San Sabba can be found in Via Giovanni Palatucci, 5, around 15 minutes’ drive from the 4-star Hotel Miramare. Entrance is free.

Nice gateway place
