St Giorgio Church

Go to my journey

Favourites

Located in Via porta Fratta, in the South of the town, the small St. Giorgio Church had been renowned in the town documents since the 11th century. Unfortunately the building, plastered and painted, is now almost all damaged, inside. The single chamber Church displays round-arched cross vaults adorned with Tuscan pilasters and niches. All is illuminated by wide lateral windows.

The external walls are made of more or less regular, rough ashlar blocks. The main sloping facade, the entrance gate with lunettes and the small, central, stone framed rose window are noteworthy.

On the left of the entrance gate, you can glimpse the remains of a more ancient portal, currently walled up, whereas on the right, the remains of an iconostasis dated 11th century, with the icons of Evangelists Luke and Mark, are kept. Finally, further right, protected by a roofing, the Madonna con Bambino e San Giorgio anonymous fresco which named the same Church, shines in all its splendour.
