Stock Photo: Statue Of A Woman Outside The Church Of San Giorgio, Portofino, Italy

ID 157230274 © Djpillow | Megapixl.com

Pictured is a statue of a woman outside the 12th century church of San Giorgio located atop a hill in Portofino, Italy. Inside are the relics of Saint George, the patron saint of Portofino. Saint George was decapitated by the Roman Emperor Diocletian in April 303. His headless body was buried in Lydda in Palestine. English crusaders later found the body and tried to bring it back to England, but ran into a severe storm in the Mediterranean. They swore that if they ever met landfall again they would leave the body there as an offering and the little harbour which finally offered them sanctuary was Portofino.
