Overview
The original building dates back to the 14th century but has been remodelled several times and owes its current appearance to the 18th-century architect Giovanni Biagio Amico, with a Baroque façade with three large sandstone arches. From the outside, one would hardly imagine that it has three naves and once inside, the interior is decorated with a profusion of stucco and frescoes in a sober neoclassical style. It preserves a few valuable masterpieces, including a deposed Christ in 'incarnate' stone (alabaster with bluish flecks) in the chapel at the far right of the choir, a Crucifixion by the Flemish Van Dyck at the fourth altar on the right, and a Saint George and the Dragon by Andrea Carreca.
