San Giorgio Maggiore, Naples

San Giorgio Maggiore is a basilica church located on the corner of Via vicaria Vecchia and Via Duomo, in central Naples, Italy.

The apse of the church lies diagonally across the street from San Severo al Pendino.

A church at the site was built by the 4th century, and was initially known as "la severiana", after the bishop San Severo of Naples.

In 1640, a fire destroyed part of the church, and reconstruction followed plans by Cosimo Fanzago, who inverted the orientation.

The church also holds a painting in Byzantine style, a wooden crucifix from the 13th century, and the relics of St Severus.
