The Estate and city of Triest (now [[Trieste]], Italy) joined Austria in 1382 as a protection against Venice. The arms were officially granted in 1467 by Emperor Friedrich III after the siege by the Venetians. The arms show in the lower half a spear, symbol of St. Sergius, patron saint of the city on the arms of Austria. The present city uses only the spear in its arms, but in a red field. The upper half shows the Imperial eagle. | The Estate and city of Triest (now [[Trieste]], Italy) joined Austria in 1382 as a protection against Venice.
