The church of Sant'Antonio Abate was originally a Gothic building dating from the 14th century, erected by Friar Ciotto degli Abbati. After the patriarch moved from the castle of Udine to the new palace, it became the patriarchal chapel. The façade was completed between 1731 and 1734 and in 1733 by Giorgio Massari, commissioned by Dionisio Dolfin. Now deconsecrated, the church is used as an auditorium and hosts exhibitions.
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 Church of Saint George Martyr is a 20th-century church in the district of Lucinio, in Gorizia. An older church built in the 17th century stood in the same place. This church was destroyed by the Austrian army following the outbreak of the First World War. A painting by Leopold Perco was saved and is displayed in the present church.
