CHURCH OF SAN GIORGIO

Located above the village of Origlio, in an isolated position, the church of San Giorgio and Maria Immacolata, which can be reached through a scenic staircase, owes its current structure to three phases of construction: a primitive nucleus, a chapel dedicated to St. George dating back to the fifteenth century (the ancient choir is now a side chapel), and the actual church, built in the first half of the seventeenth century, and eventually the one of the semicircular choir added at the end of the eighteenth century.

Of notable interest is the imposing unfinished façade, without plaster, from the characteristic typology of Lombard architecture.
