Chiesa del Rosario

The Chiesa del Rosario (Church of the Rosary), formerly known as the ‘Madonna delle Grazie’, was initially built during the 16th century and was located in Borgo San Rocco, in today's Duca d'Aosta School. A valuable work of art is the statue of the Madonna and Child, which was later placed on the capital with voting offering made in thanksgiving for the end of the cholera epidemic of 1836. The old statue of the Madonna and Child was replaced with a wooden one from the 19th century.
Destroyed by bombing during the Great War, it was rebuilt in 1921 in today’s Via del Rosario. In the old church, the statue of the Madonna and Child, the Rose window and the Lion of St Mark remain. At the same time, the new side altars were made with marble from the old Chiesa di Sant’Ambrogio in Monfalcone and the Chiesa di San Giovanni in Tuba in Duino, both destroyed during World War I.
