The Church of the Trinity and St. Spyridon, also called Santissima Trinità e San Spiridione or San Spiridione, is the Serbian Orthodox church in the northern Italian city of Trieste. It was built between 1861 and 1866 according to the design of the architect Carlo Maciachini

The beginnings of the Serbian community in Trieste go back to 1748, when the first merchant from what is now Bosnia-Herzegovina, Jovo Kurtović (or Giovanni Curtovich in Italian), settled in the port city. The declaration of Trieste as a free port in 1719 and the deliberately tolerant attitude of the Habsburgs towards other religions and nations attracted the poor merchant from Trebinje to the city and enabled him and his family to build a trading empire with connections to Vienna, Odessa, İzmir and Philadelphia within a very short time. Other merchant families followed Kurtović's example.[2]

Although the Trieste population rejected the small Illyrian community, probably because of its rapid economic success, Empress Maria Theresa promoted its development. On March 3, 1750, she allowed the Orthodox population in Trieste to unite to form a community.
