Church of San Giorgio in Braida
The church of San Giorgio in Braida was preceded by the Romanesque church of a Benedictine monastery that flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries. After a period of decline, the monastery was entrusted to the Canons Regular of San Giorgio in Alga in 1442. It is believed that the construction of the present church began at that time and continued until the 16th century. Under Austrian rule (1815-1866), with the construction of the new fortifications in 1837, a large part of the building was demolished. In 1938, the building underwent a cycle of restoration work that led to the partial reconstruction of the 16th-century cloister.
