The most beautiful Baroque church in Salerno, on Via Duomo, which grew out of a Lombard monastery.

The Church of San Giorgio is documented as early as 819 as a dependency of the monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno. The present church was rebuilt from the 16th century onwards, with work by Ferdinando Sanfelice in the 18th century.It is considered the most beautiful Baroque church in Salerno, with its central dome and side chapels. During restoration a fragment of a frescoed apse older than 1071 came to light.
