Duomo di Monfalcone, Minor basilica in Monfalcone, Italy.
The Duomo di Monfalcone, dedicated to Saint Ambrose, is a three-nave basilica in Romanesque Revival style designed by Gino Benigni and Francesco Leoni and consecrated in 1929. It has a raised polygonal apse, side aisles separated by round-arched arcades, and no vaulted ceiling. A single campanile, built in 1956–1958 on the left side of the choir, rises 78 metres.
Architect Gino Benigni designed the building in 1926 as a modern religious monument. The Vatican granted it minor basilica status in 1940, recognizing its religious importance to the region.
The cathedral serves as a central gathering place for Monfalcone's Catholic community and hosts regular religious services and celebrations. It anchors the spiritual life of the city and welcomes the faithful who come to worship.
The cathedral is located in the town center of Monfalcone and is easily accessible on foot. You can visit daily to attend scheduled services or simply explore the building and appreciate its architecture.
The bell tower, added only in 1956–58, rises 78 metres, the highest in the Archdiocese of Gorizia and third in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Its five bells form one of the most complete peals in the province: the largest, cast in 1984 by Francesco De Poli of Vittorio Veneto, is tuned to D-flat, while four Broili of Udine bells date from 1921 to 1947.
