概要

クイックファクト: The church has a 46-meter-high bell tower offering panoramic views of the city and the Adriatic Sea. Inside, a large baroque altarpiece dedicated to Saint George, the patron saint of the village, is preserved.

見どころ: What's special is that from the belfry you can enjoy views of all four cardinal directions and see the entire Piran Riviera. Inside the church, there is a wooden sculpture of Saint George slaying the dragon, intricately carved in the late 15th century.

インサイダーヒント

Wear comfortable shoes because the climb to the tower is on steep stone stairs.
The best photos are taken from the top of the tower early in the morning when there are fewer people and the light is softer.
Do not miss the detailed view of the stone vaults and the details of the altar inside the church.
Visit the church before the weekend if you want to avoid crowds due to the local mass.
