San Giorgio alla Costa, Rococo church in Oltrarno, Italy

The church stands on Costa San Giorgio street, connecting Ponte Vecchio to Forte Belvedere, featuring a Baroque interior with ornate decorations.

Originally built before 1000 AD, the church underwent major renovations between 1705 and 1708 under architect Giovanni Battista Foggini's direction.

The church housed Giotto's Madonna of San Giorgio alla Costa, now displayed at the Diocesan Museum of Santo Stefano al Ponte in Florence.

Romanian Orthodox services take place in an alternative space due to structural issues affecting the main building's roof.

Three separate churches once occupied this location, dedicated to Saint George, Saint Sigismund, and Saint Mamilian respectively.
