Saint George church

The church features a gabled facade with two pillars separating the central nave from the side aisles, topped by a funnel-shaped rose window.

Built in the 10th century on the site of a former pagan temple, San Giorgio incorporates architectural elements from earlier Romanesque structures in its walls.

The portal's lunette displays a carved Crucifix Lamb surrounded by intricate floral ornaments and grape vine decorations reflecting medieval religious symbolism.

The church stands in an elevated position within Campobasso, offering visitors direct views of both the historic center and modern peripheral districts.

The adjacent ancient cemetery, enclosed by a low wall, features a small barred window with a tombstone decorated with a human head in high relief.
