The early modern architecture of the religious orders must be validated as the expression of a culture that developed within a universalistic, coherent institutional context, potentially freed from the limits of space and time. Although it was not autonomous and even less uniform in its typological and stylistic manifestations, it was nevertheless conditioned by the organisational structure and intellectual links that prevailed in the religious community. Its own tradition and the employment of the same members on building sites scattered throughout the territory contributed to the formation of a distinctly ‘interregional’ architectural reality. The Jesuit buildings in Gorizia, Trieste and Rijeka bear eloquent witness to this phenomenon.
