This House in Slovenia Is Surrounded on Three Sides by Italy

Barry's Borderpoints is a website featuring photos and maps of national borderpoints visited by Barry Arnold, the Vice President of the International Border Research Group--an organization of border enthusiasts.

Arnold's website includes some of the more eccentric borders that history and politics have drawn across the world. Among them is this house that is in Slovenia but is surrounded by Italy. It is set in the region of Trieste--a city long disputed among Italians, Slovenians, and Croatians.

A map reveals the international border. There are official marker points at all four corners. Residents have incorporated them into their garden landscaping. There are no indications that the Slovenian and Italian residents across the fence are hostile to each other.
