Chiesa di San Giorgio dei Tedeschi - Ospizio
dei Trovatelli
The church was built in 1316 in memory of the German soldiers who had
died in the battle of Montecatini; later on it was called San Giorgio
degli Innocenti because it was annexed to the ‘Ospedale dei
Trovatelli’ (hospital of the foundlings); in 1784 it was annexed to
the Ospedali Riuniti di Santa Chiara. Its plan is an aisleless one made
of bricks with traces of frescoed escutcheons on the outside. The
interior, restored from 1722, keeps a wooden Crucifix by a German artist
from the XIV century and a rich decoration of gilt stuccoes and
paintings from the XVIII century.
