The Italian Catholic Archdiocese of Trento (Latin: Archidioecesis Tridentina, German Trient), in the Triveneto, is a Latin Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese named after its see in Alpine Italy, Trento (Tr(i)ent), in Trentino-Alto Adige region.

Its cathedral episcopal see is the Minor basilica Cattedrale di S. Vigilio Vescovo in, Trento. It has two more minor basilicas:

  • Basilica S. Maria Maggiore Basilica S. Maria Maggiore, also in Trento city
  • Basilica di Ss. Sisinio, Martirio e Alessandro, in Sanzeno, Trento.

History

Established circa 200 AD as Diocese of Trento, it became a suffragan of the Patriarchs of Aquiliea-Grado. As a prince-bishopric, the bishop's temporal possession also constituted a state of the Holy Roman Empire. At some point, it was added to the province of Salzburg.

In 1786 it gained territory from the Diocese of Feltre.

On 14 June 1929 it was promoted to Archdiocese of Trento, which only became a metropolitan see on 6 August 1964, with the Diocese of Bolzano-Brixen as its only suffragan.[1]

On 6 July 1964 it lost territory to the then Diocese of Brixen (Bressanone).

It enjoyed papal visits from Pope John Paul II in July 1988 and April 1995.
