Cathedral of Saints Ilario and Taziano

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.
