history

The archbishopric was established on July 6, 1751 after the dissolution of the Patriarchate of Aquileia . On September 12, 1791, the diocese was united with the adjacent Gradisca . The current archbishopric was named Görz-Gradisca . On July 27, 1830, the diocese was raised again to the archbishopric. The dioceses of Laibach , Trieste and Capodistria , Pola and Veglia were under the Archbishop of Gorizia. After the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy and the subsequent political changes in the region, the diocese of Trieste was the only suffragan to survive.
