Pieve di San Giorgio, Religious landmark near Reno River in Argenta, Italy

The Pieve di San Giorgio features a pentagonal apse with three round-arched windows and maintains its original Byzantine altar from ancient times.

Founded in 569 by Archbishop Sant'Agnello of Ravenna, this church became the nucleus around which the first settlements of Argenta developed.

Archaeological excavations in the 1980s revealed floor mosaics and wall paintings from the ninth century beneath the current church structure.

The religious building sits three meters above its original floor level, accessible through Via Cardinala near the natural reserve of Valli di Campotto.

The portal from 1122 by Giovanni da Modigliana displays an early Romanesque sculpture depicting Saint George's martyrdom and yearly calendar symbols.
