Churches and places of worship Trieste e Carso

The synagogue was first documented in the 13th century and was the work of Ruggero and Arduino Berlam. Over the years, it was part of many events of the Jews from Trieste, becoming in the 20th century one of the largest synagogues in Europe. Inside we can find the oratory and the majestic synagogue, which are used in case of big holidays. Today it is managed by the Jewish community of Trieste, and is home to different structures of this community.

It was created by the union of the two churches of Santa Maria and the one dedicated to the martyr San Giusto. The Basilica Cathedral of San Giusto is the most important religious building in the city. The exterior of the church is enriched with a rose window in karst stone. The bell tower and also the façade are composed of artifacts from the Roman period. The interior of the church was shot down in the early 20th century. The fresco of the Coronation of the Virgin was replaced by a mosaic that had the same theme.

The Temple dates back to 1960. Under the proposal of Archbishop Strazzacappa it was dedicated to Mary Mother and Queen, and its main purpose was that of union among different peoples. The interior has a very special structure, and we can also find the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. In 1992 it was also visited by Pope John Paul II, an event that is part of the history of the temple.
