Chapel of the Holy Spirit, Gorizia

The Church of St. Ignatius was built by the Jesuits between 1654 and 1747. The interior is decorated with marble and wooden furniture from the 17th century.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Martyrs Saints Hilary and Tatian dates from the 13th century. In 1471, the Chapel of St. Acacius, the best preserved part of the cathedral, was built. Between 1682 and 1702, the church underwent a radical Baroque renovation: Giulio Quaglio painted a series of frescoes that were lost during the First World War. In 1751, Gorizia became the seat of the archbishopric following the dismantling of the patriarchate. It was severely damaged during the First World War: it was returned to worship in 1928, as recalled by a plaque outside, in its present form.

The Capuchin Convent in Gorizia dates from 1591. It was founded under the Habsburg rule, when the town of Gorizia was part of the Province of Styria. The church is dedicated to Assumption and St. Francis of Assisi. The monastic complex suffered the struggles of the First World War, after the fall of the Habsburg monarchy. The convent was rebuilt in 1926 and expanded between 1960-1962.
