Chiesa di Sant'Antonio Abate

Also known as the Udine Cathedral, the cathedral of Santa Maria Annunziata is the main church of the city of Udine. It was constructed in the 13th century, but was consecrated in the 14th century. The church follows the latin cross formation plan and is built in a franciscan style. Inside are several important frescoes, stainglass windows, and altarpieces.

The church of Santa Chiara is one of the oldest religious buildings in Udine. In the early Middle Ages, there was an oratory dedicated to St. John the Baptist on the site. A citizen of Udine then left a large sum of money and many possessions for the construction of the church of Santa Chiara, which was begun in 1294 and completed in 1303 with an adjoining convent completed in 1306.

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.
