This church is (as many are in the area) Baroque in style and as the name indicates is dedicated to St. George. There is a large statue of the saint on horse back inside the church. The local festival of St. George is held in late May in the town.

We were on a guided tour in Ragusa and visited this beautiful baroque church. The cathedral appears in the opening credits of the Italian TV series Inspector Montalbano, and it also features in some episodes, as does the similarly named cathedral of Modica. I am a fan of Inspector Montalbano, so it was nice to visit his ”church”. Before the earthquake of 1693, the Church of San Giorgio stood in the eastern part of Ragusa Ibla, near the Hyblean Garden. Today, the only thing left from the ancient church, demolished in 1718, is the Portal of San Giorgio.After the earthquake of 1693, which destroyed almost entirely the historical center of the town, it was decided to built a new church dedicated to Saint George on the place of the ancient Church of San Nicola.However, the building of Ragusa Superiore – the modern part of the city, developed faster, and the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista, erected in 1694, became the main Catholic church of Ragusa, to the discontent of the inhabitants of Ragusa Ibla.

A beautiful church set slightly at an angle at the top of a large flight of stairs overlooking the main square in Ragusa Ibla. It was built in the C18th after the original cathedral in another part of the town was destroyed in an earthquake. The dome can be seen for miles around and it beautifully lit at night - we were lucky enough to be staying in a B&B nearby. Open 10 -12.30 and again 4-7. For those who enjoy watching the Inspector Montalbano series, you will recognise this church form the shows.

Majestic Duomo sitting high above the square with a massive iron fence and gate. Impressive.
As we passed through the square today, we noticed a wedding had just taken place, and the doors were open, and we ventured in.
Breathtaking structure with a main altar surrounded by red velvet curtain. The side chapels are impressive by themselves with marble altars and huge paintings.
The details inside the Duomo are worth the visit if you travel to Ragusa.

After a while all the churches in Europe begin to look the same but somehow Duomo di San Giorgio stood out as a happy memory for us. Perhaps because while we were enjoying the beauty of this 18th century Baroque church a happy group was setting up for a wedding. It was very special to recognize that, while thousands travel from across the globe to see this lovely church and town, this is still a functioning parish church where people worship and celebrate the important moments of their lives. The church is not something to just look at but to participate with and so we were able to better understand why it was built in the first place. I hope you have that special experience as well.

This cathedral is well worth a visit. It is situated in the heart of Regusa Ibla. Viewed from the Piazza it is sited up a dramatic stairway, towards the top of the Ibla hill. It houses a dramatic festival 'float' dedicated to St George. Red drapes are a dominant feature of its decor

Baroque cathedral at the centre of Ragusa Ibla, it is great for the photo album, but shut from 12.30 til 4 pm most days so we didn't see inside it. Signage is rubbish, with one a hand scribbled note on the fence at the front. All the signs are in Italian only, which is not a big problem if you can speak/understand rudimentary italian, but for a major UNESCO site which supposed to celebrate WORLD heritage a little more effort would have been nice

This is a Baroque church constructed in the 1700s. It's interesting to visit inside, but the exterior is particularly. eye catching. In general, the views from the piazza are beautiful, so you can linger at one of the cafes to soak in the glorious view.

The Duomo is a lovely church that appears to stand guard over the town of Ragusa Ibla. it is the centerpiece of the main piazza so you can't miss it. You should also climb the hills to have an overview of the church and a beautiful view.

If you are standing in the place in front of it it is one of the most impressive churches one can imagine, especially on a bright day. The inside is a bit underwhelming though, compared to the promise. It is a very nice church and fully worth a visit in itself but not so rich in colors, ornaments and of course size as many others.
