The Civico Museo di Storia e Arte e Orto Lapidario is near the San Giusto castle and cathedral. The 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 has a beautiful garden where the base of the equestrian monument to Fabio Severo of the 2nd Century can be found. There are fragments of an inscription that commemorates the construction of the city walls by Ottaviano Augusto around 32 AD.
