History
A Latin archdiocese of the Catholic Church in Italy, the Archdiocese of Gorizia (Latin: Archidioecesis Goritiensis) traces its founding to 1751, when the Patriarchate of Aquileia was abolished and its territory divided between two new dioceses, Udine and Gorizia. The archiepiscopal see carries several names in the region's languages: Friulian Gurizza/Gurizze, German Görz, and Slovene Gorica.
