Church of San Giorgio, 14th century church in Varenna, Italy
The Church of San Giorgio features three naves, a rose window on its facade, and a bell tower constructed from natural stone in 1653.
The church received its consecration in 1313 following its construction between 1250 and 1313 to meet the religious requirements of Varenna inhabitants.
Inside the church, frescoes display Saint Gregory the Great and Queen Theodelinda on columns, while the counter-facade presents a detailed depiction of Hell.
The church contains a high altar made of black and red marbles, installed in 1822, and features flooring crafted from black Varenna marble.
The polyptych of Saint George, created by Jo Pietro Brentani in 1467, consists of three panels and seven tiles arranged above the marble altar.
