Mother Church of Saint George martyr, Renaissance church in Caccamo, Italy.

The Mother Church of Saint George Martyr stands on Piazza Duomo with a bell tower, dome, and intricate architectural details throughout the structure.

Construction began in 1616 under architect Vincenzo La Barbera, following a decision by canon Paolo Muscia to build a larger church for the growing population.

The church features a high relief sculpture of Saint George by artist Gaspare Guercio on its facade and contains numerous artworks from previous religious buildings.

Located at Piazza Duomo 2 in Caccamo, the church maintains regular opening hours and functions as part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Palermo.

The dedication to Saint George stems from Norman times, commemorating their victory against Saracens near Cerami in 1090, predating the current structure.
