Guastalla - Oratorio di San Giorgio

The Oratorio di San Giorgio was mentioned already within the 10th century.

As the River Po is not far away, the structure did suffer from numerous flooding over the centuries and so was abandoned, until a hermit resettled here in the 15th century.

Restoration works started in 1932, during an excavation a paleochristian carving was unearthed depicting an Agnus Dei. It is dated to the 6th century. Unfortunately the oratory was locked.
