A 19th century lazaret in the upper Adriatic - Muggia, in the province of Trieste -

U vrijeme Habsburške Monarhije, na teritoriju koji se prostirao od Kotora do Trsta utemeljeno je niz lazareta radi postizanja učinkovitije sanitarne kontrole jadranske obale. Trst je poslije imao tri lazareta, od kojih je posljednji otvoren 1869. na području Muggie, upravo kada su se prva dva zatvarala, odnosno u doba otvaranja Sueskog kanala. Iznimno vrijedan i bogat izvor informacija o lazaretu pruža izvještaj voditelja ustanove Giovannija Bussolinija. Karantena je u to vrijeme primala bolesnike od kuge, žute groznice te kolere. Prostorije lazareta bile su, kako se u tim uvjetima prakticiralo, podijeljene na "čisti" i "kužni" dio, koje je odjeljivao zid, a pristup je bio strogo kontroliran. Kako se XX. stoljeće bližilo, tako je, zbog smanjenih potreba za karantenama, lazaret preuzeo funkciju vojne bolnice, dok se danas koristi kao rekreacijski centar. Saznanja o lazaretu govore o primjeni visokih zdravstvenih standarda koji su odgovarali znanju toga vremena.The Hapsburg Empire set up a system of lazarets extending from the Bay of Kotor up to Trieste to improve sanitary control over its Adriatic coast. Trieste had three lazarets in succession, the last of which was built near Muggia, a small town that saw a shipbuilding boom coinciding with the construction of the Suez Canal (1867). A rich source of information on the subject is the 1878 report written by Giovanni Bussolin, the head of the establishment. At the time, quarantined were patients with oriental plague, yellow fever and cholera. The lazaret was divided, according to the common practice of the time, into a "clean" and "foul" section or quarantine. The two were separated by a wall, and the flow between them was controlled. At the turn of the 20th century, the lazaret became a military hospital, and the site is now used for recreational activities. The information available indicates that the facility maintained high standards that were compatible with the knowledge of the times
