Patriarchate of Aquileia (3)

WORD

The Patriarchate of Aquileia was an episcopal see in northeastern Italy, centred on the ancient city of Aquileia situated at the head of the Adriatic, on what is now the Italian seacoast. For many centuries it played an important part in history, particularly in that of the Holy See and northern Italy, and a number of church councils were held there. No longer a residential bishopric, it is today classified as an archiepiscopal titular see.

West of Kanfanar lies Dvigrad, a medieval town overlooking Lim Fjord. Once two thriving colonies, Parentino and Moncastello, the latter, under the Patriarchate of Aquileia's ownership, evolved into Duecastelli. Venetian rule later encompassed Dvigrad, but in the 17th century, disease forced most residents to flee. By 1714, only three families remained, ultimately deserting the town. Left intact by abandonment, Dvigrad boasts preserved gates, walls, towers, and most of its houses. The once-prominent St. Sophia Church succumbed to neglect by the 19th century. Known as Due Castelli in Italian and Docastei in Istriot, this deserted medieval town in central Istria, Croatia, thrived from prehistoric times until the 18th century.

The Castle of Pazin stands as the largest and best-preserved medieval fortress in Istria, holding immense historical, architectural, and monumental significance. Its documented history dates back to 983, witnessing a series of transformations—presented as gifts, conquered, ravaged, rebuilt, and leased multiple times. Passing through various dominions, it was once under the control of the Patriarchate of Aquileia and later under the County of Gorizia, offering security to the Middle Istrian area known as Graftschhaft Mitterburg, Contea di Pisino, or the County of Pazin.

Dedicated to Saint Lucy, this church has its origins in the 10th-12th centuries, coinciding with the development of the castellan village on the Col del Fer in the Middle Ages. Once governed by Ceneda (Vittorio Veneto) and later the Patriarchate of Aquileia, the small original church was enlarged over time, with the last modifications being made in the 17th century. In the early 19th century, following the construction of the new parish church in the town down the hill (Vallegher), it was progressively abandoned. As a result, the church ceded its original name (San Tomaso) and took on that of Santa Lucia. The structure sat empty and unused until the early 1920s, when it was restored along with the bell tower (which was originally an ancient tower). After subsequent restorations, on 16th of March 1967, the Bishop of Vittorio Veneto, Albino Luciani (the future Pope John Paul I), blessed the old parish church, restoring its role as a place of worship. The many works of art that once decorated this building can now be admired in the parish church of San Tomaso. However, a few interesting pieces remain. On the right wall are fragments of a fresco from the early 14th century portraying the Virgin Mary with Child and St. Bernardino while St. Bernardino and a Bishop Saint (identified as Louis of Toulouse) is from the late 15th century. The St. Lawrence by Pietro Gorizio was completed in 1510.
