The Cathedral of Trapani was built on the initiative of Alfonso V of Aragon in 1421. In the centuries that followed, the building was modified several times. Its present appearance dates back to its restoration in the 18th century in a neoclassical style by the architect Giovanni Biagio Amico. Between 1794 and 1801 the best artists of the city of Trapani created stucco decorations and interior paintings. In 1844 Pope Gregory XVI gave the building the title of cathedral.

The New Synagogue is also known as the New School, the Upper Prayer Hall, and the Rear Synagogue. It was built in 1669 in Renaissance style. It now serves as a museum with beautifully restored frescoes and a historical model of the Jewish quarter as it appeared in the mid-19th century.

Trinity Church, consecrated in 1709, was designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. It is a central octagonal church with a domed roof and a powerful four-columned portico facing the square. When Karlskrona was founded in 1680, the construction of the town was very labour intensive. During the early years of the town, many Germans settled in the town. During the first decade, they had to hold their own services in German in the Hedvig Eleonora Church, the temporary wooden church built by the Swedish parish in the town. In 1689, the Germans started to think about their own church and on 17 October of the same year, they received permission from the king to form their own parish in accordance with the privileges he had granted to the town.

Tregist Chapel dates back to the 1980s. On the site of the present chapel, there was originally a chapel from 1884, which was damaged by a flood around 1955 and then demolished. The exterior and interior of the new chapel were designed by the local sculptor and painter Franz Weiss between 1986 and 1992.

The present Treia Cathedral building was constructed between 1782 and 1814 according to the plans of the architect Andrea Vici. It has a Greek cross plan with three naves, divided by Corinthian columns and pillars. It has a large crypt. The church was damaged after the earthquake that hit central Italy in 2016.

The church in Tresfjord was opened in 1828 after the farmers who owned the old church had saved enough money to build a new church. The old church in Tresfjord dated from the Middle Ages. The church is an octagonal wooden church with an extended porch to the west and a choir with a vestry to the east.

The monastery of Treskavets was built from the 13th to the 14th. It was destroyed and rebuilt by the Serbian ruler Stefan Uroš II Milutin (1282-1321), and he is registered as "Ktetor" (founder) in the monastery. Partially abandoned in the 15th century, it has been restored several times since then. The monastery was seriously damaged by a fire in 2013.

The church in Tretten is a cruciform church made of slatted wood. The wood from the old church from the 16th century was reused in the new church, which was first tarred, then painted red, and in 1807 it was given the white colour of the time. The high tower that was to stand in the centre of the cross has been placed next to the church since 2000 due to damage.

Treungen Church is a long church consecrated in 1863, the third church in the town, but the two previous churches were higher up the hill to the east of Tveitsund. In the 1960s it was extensively restored, and the sacristy on the south side of the chancel dates from 1863.

The Cathedral of Tricarico was built in the 11th century by order of Robert Guiscard, thanks to the donations of his nephew, Robert de Montescaglioso. In 1383 Louis I of Anjou was crowned King of Naples here. Originally built in the Romanesque style, it has been remodelled and enlarged several times over the centuries, by Bishops Pier Luigi Carafa senior in 1638, Pier Luigi Carafa junior after the plague of 1657 and Antonio del Plato between 1774 and 1777. The work carried out by the latter bishop gave the cathedral its present appearance.
