San Giorgio, Romanesque church in Como, Italy

The church of San Giorgio exhibits a three-nave layout with substantial square pillars supporting the central vault and three distinct apses.

Built between 1050 and 1075, the structure underwent major reconstruction in 1644 due to frequent flooding from Lake Como.

The frescoes from the church, displaying saints in detailed garments and martyr relics inscriptions, are preserved at Palazzo Volpi's Pinacoteca Civica.

Located at Via Borgovico 136, the church maintains regular religious services and contains architectural elements from multiple historical periods.

The central apse features five deep niches and preserves marble fragments decorated with mythical creatures from its original Romanesque construction.
