This edited volume explores key architectural-historical questions by examining the networks, contexts, and outcomes of Jesuit strongholds in Trieste, Rijeka, Gorizia, and Dubrovnik.
This book explores how the art and architecture commissioned by the Jesuits along the eastern shores of the Adriatic during the early modern period reflect a distinct cultural identity shaped within a universal and institutionally coherent framework—one that transcended geographical and temporal boundaries. Though diverse in form and style, these buildings were profoundly influenced by the organisational structures and intellectual networks of religious communities. Through enduring traditions and the strategic mobility of their members across regions, the Jesuits fostered an architectural language that was markedly interregional, while also engaging in dialogue with local artistic production. The Jesuit churches of Gorizia, Trieste, Rijeka, and Dubrovnik stand as powerful witnesses to this phenomenon, offering a compelling lens through which to understand the circulation of ideas, forms, and people across the early modern Adriatic—and beyond.
