Archbishop of Gorizia (Görz)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the Archbishops of Gorizia. The archepiscopal see of Gorizia (German: Görz; Slovenian: Gorica) was founded in 1752 when the Patriarchate of Aquileia was divided. It was suppressed in 1788 and re-established in 1797 as the Diocese of Görz-Gradisca. It was raised again to an archdiocese in 1830. The diocese of Ljubljana (Laibach), Trieste-Koper (Capo d'Istria), Poreč-Pula (Parenzo-Pola), and Krk-Rab (Veglia-Arbe) were formerly under the metropolitan jurisdiction of this archdiocese; however, now the Diocese of Tristie is its only suffragan diocese.
The territory around Gorizia belonged to Austria until 1918 when it was transferred to Italy at the conclusion of the First World War. Also from 1766 the archbishop was Prince of the Holy Roman Empire.
