Construction of the basilica dates back to 1678, but it was subsequently severely damaged during the earthquake of 1693. Reconstruction is long, because costly. Thus the facade was completed in 1818, the wings and dome in the twentieth century. The basilica owes its decoration to Italian painters: Gian Battista Conti for the frescoes of the dome, Giuseppe Cali, as well as Mattia Preti for his Saint George and the Dragon and, finally, the sculptor Paolo Azzopardi for a representation of Saint George (1841).
Strings are available at the entrance if you have the shoulders discovered. With great luck, you can attend a mass. There are every hour at weekends!
The festival of Saint George takes place on the third Sunday in July.
