In 1993, a terrorist attack nearly destroyed this medieval church in Rome.
The Basilica of San Giorgio in Velabro is a religious building located in Rome, which was built on the former swampy area of Velabro and dedicated to Saint George. The origins of the church are not clear, as it is mentioned in various Early Middle documents, but these could also be a nod to a separate building. The current church was likely constructed in the 7th-century and underwent several major restoration projects over its history, most recently during the 1920s.
