The Temple of Monte Grisa ({{lang-it|Santuario Nazionale a Maria Madre e Regina}}) is a Roman-Catholic church north of the city of Trieste.[1] Located at an altitude of 300 metres on the edge of the Karst Plateau it is a most conspicuous landmark, seen by many, visited by few. It was built at the initiative of Antonio Santin, since 16 May 1938 Bishop of Trieste and Koper.[2] Seeing the riots between the Nazi-German occupiers and the Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale on 30 April 1945 he made a vow to erect a church, if Trieste was saved from total destruction. The city was saved and in 1959 Santin obtained permission from Pope John XXIII to build a pilgrims church dedicated to the Holy Mary as a symbol of the peace and unity of all people. The temple was designed by Professor Antonio Guacci, after sketches by Santin. The triangular structures should evoke the letter M as a symbol of the Holy Mary. The church was built in between 1963 and 1965, after a first stone had been laid on 19 September 1959. Santin inaugurated the church on 22 May 1966. On 1 May 1992 Pope John Paul II visited the temple. In 2010 restoration works took place, because the concrete had suffered from alkali-silica reaction.
