Chiesa di San Giorgio al Corso

Chiesa di San Giorgio al Corso, Catholic church in Corso Garibaldi, Reggio Calabria, Italy.

The Chiesa di San Giorgio al Corso faces Corso Garibaldi and runs along Via Giudecca in Reggio Calabria. Its classical facade centres on a monumental portal topped by a large window showing Saint George killing the dragon, with bas-reliefs of First World War scenes and battle place names beside it. Inside, a single nave with four chapels per side leads to an apse basin decorated in mosaic; the floor and walls are clad in grey Billiemi marble with light Trani stone.

The church was originally consecrated in 1596 but suffered severe damage from the 1908 Messina earthquake. Following complete reconstruction under architect Camillo Autore's direction, it reopened in 1935.

The church honors Saint George, who has served as the city's protector for centuries and holds deep meaning in local identity. This devotion remains visible through religious observances and the saint's continued veneration in the community.

The church houses a pipe organ from 1930 that underwent restoration and expansion in the early 2000s, alongside bas-reliefs commemorating World War I battles. Visitors should note that it functions as an active place of worship.

At the end of municipal elections, six names were sealed in silver balls and placed in bags on the altar of San Giorgio by social class. After the Mass of the Holy Spirit, a child drew out the three mayors who would govern the city for a year.
