"Beautiful 7th-century Church"

San Giorgio in Velabro is a church dedicated to Saint George, located in Rome, the capital city of Italy. The church was originally built in the 7th Century but was later reconstructed in the 9th Century. The altarpiece from the 12th Century is notable. The church is a hidden gem of the city, with a special place in the history of Rome, which has a rich tradition of myths and legends. Legend has it that Romulus and Remus came ashore here as babies. A low, marshy area at the time, it assumed gained in importance over the centuries. The church is built to a simple plan. In 1993, a terrorist attack destroyed much of the structure. After long and painstaking restoration, the church was reopened in 1996.
