Church of St George, Catholic church in Birżebbuġa, Malta.
The Church of St George exhibits a Baroque architectural style with a prominent bell tower and ornate details across its stone facade.
Records from 1565 document the original chapel, which underwent multiple restorations including a significant renovation by Palmerus Montana in 1621.
The church interior displays a central altar featuring a painting of St George on horseback slaying a dragon, based on Mattia Preti's work.
The church maintains regular services and stands near several public transport routes connecting visitors to central Valletta and surrounding areas.
A Latin inscription inside the building states that this church did not provide sanctuary to criminal offenders, contrary to common practices.
