Church of St. George

Description

The Church of St. George impresses with its clear architectural form and distinctive spiritual atmosphere. Its almost square layout with a semicircular apse combines Romanesque solidity in the lower walls with a Gothic ribbed vault dating from 1498. Particularly noteworthy is the depiction of the Holy Trinity within a rainbow mandorla in the apse, a rare and powerful work of art. The church can be viewed from the outside only. Fun fact: Saint Christopher in the church fresco is depicted with six toes.
