San Giorgio, Church building in Tellaro, Italy
The San Giorgio church stands at the edge of a cliff above the Ligurian Sea, featuring stone walls and a bell tower facing the water.
The church structure dates from the thirteenth century and remained a significant maritime reference point for sailors navigating the Ligurian coast.
The building holds regular religious services and maintains the tradition of ringing bells to alert the village about approaching maritime dangers.
Visitors can reach the church by walking through narrow streets from Tellaro's main square, with opening hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily.
The church bell tower contains a mechanical octopus made of metal, commemorating a legend about an octopus that saved the village from pirates.
