Trieste National Hall

The Trieste National Hall or Slovene Cultural Centre (Slovene: Narodni dom) in Trieste is a multimodal building that served for 15 years as a social and economic centre for the Slovene minority in the city. It included the Slovene theatre in Trieste, a hotel, a restaurant, a gym and numerous cultural associations. It is notable for having been burned in 1920 by Italian Fascists, which made it a symbol of the Italian repression of the Slovene minority in Italy. The building was restored from 1988 to 1990. and later used as a hotel (Hotel Regina). Around 2010 it has been renovated according to the original plans.
