Inspiring

It is appropriate that this statue of James Joyce was placed here. Though an Irishman he spent a great part of his life in Teieste and most of his writings were done here. There are also many cafes bars and restaurants named after him.

Must see in Trieste

This statue is on the place where is Gran Canale di Trieste. Nice statue of James Joyce, he was really in love with this town. It's in the center of town, so you can easily walk to this place. Recommend.

Just a small statue really

There are a number of these statues of literary figures around the city’s streets. They add a little interest to the streetscape but are nothing special really.

James Joyce looks south towards the James Joyce pub.

It's just a statue of James Joyce on the bridge, facing the south and towards a pub that's named after him. Just like statues in Dublin, the James Joyce statue should have a nickname.
