The church of San Giorgio is one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Salerno, containing frescoes of high quality. Until the suppression, it was part of a convent of Benedictine nuns; today it has been transformed into a barracks for the Guardia di Finanza (Customs and Exiles) and the Carabiniere. It is the oldest monastical seat in Salerno that dates to the start of the 9th Century. Angelo Solimene in 1675 put his signature to a series of paintings on the vault of the choir.
