The Church of San Giorgio

Built in 1495, the Church is the most ancient of the town and it is possible to enter in it by an elegant flight of steps.

The inside has a structure with an only nave covered by a precious barrelvault and it keeps still now most of original furnitures.

Among these there is a painting of best workmanship made by Cristodoro (1759) representing San Giorgio in Gloria (St. George into Glory).
