The works for the construction of the Anglican church of Saint George began in 1839 on a project of the Livornese architect Angiolo della Valle, to be completed in 1844. The neoclassical building, which faces the entrance of the Old English Cemetery, has a pronaos with four Ionic columns and a very short bell tower on the back. Damaged by the air raids of WWII, the church was restored in the postwar period and consecrated to the Catholic cult in 1956.

This is a substantial, handsome structure. It could use some more restoration work.
Fascinating. Without the cross I would not expect it to be a church.
I've never seen a church like this one. It's so beautiful.
Going from Anglican to Catholic is slightly ironic...
The building has seen better days but I'm glad to see the door open.
Thanks for the new word pronaos.
You can repost this for the City Daily Photo April 23 St. George Day (England) day.
Impressive columns, the architecture is wonderful!

It certainly is a wonderful building VP, with a little work it could be stunning..although it would have to be done so very carefully as not to destroy the original feel of it. As Ciel says, to go from Anglican to Catholic is a huge leap in Faith!
It's elegant.
Catholic "cult"??
Bella testimonianza di storia. Ciao, Arianna
Gorgeous! Love those walls.
