San Giorgio in Lemine

San Giorgio in Lemine features a three-nave basilica structure with characteristic semi-circular arches and stone walls reflecting Lombard Romanesque architectural elements.

The church's documented existence dates back to 1171 when it was established by the Bishop of Bergamo to serve the growing population's religious needs.

The interior walls display numerous frescoes from different artistic periods, including the triptych of Saint George and the Princess by the Master of 1388.

Located at Via San Giorgio in Almenno San Salvatore, the church stands 500 meters from Madonna del Castello and can be accessed through local roads.

During the 1630 plague, the building transformed into the Church of the Dead, maintaining this designation in subsequent years.
