Takole pa izgleda, ko spomenik državnega pomena opazijo tuji obiskovalci! Mogoče pa bo nekega dne zanimiv tudi za tiste, ki se z njim radi pohvalijo, ko pa je potrebno kaj primakniti za obnovo, pa skromno molčijo. Seveda, na srečo, vedno obstajajo izjeme...

The Church of St. George, a major tourist attraction and one of the most important landmarks in Piran, sits on a hill above the rest of the town. On the sea side of the church is a small piazza which was originally a graveyard, and is now a spot for tourists to view the town of Piran and the Adriatic Sea (officially the Bay of Trieste), as well as nearby coastal villages. The views are absolutely gorgeous. It is well worth the visit, and the walk up the hill from Tartini Square. The church, completed in 1637, also has a bell tower (150 wooden steps to the top), which is accessible for 1 euro.
This old church is marvelously situated atop a cliff. At the base of the cliff is a narrow, stone beach. In the church, a wide variety of music is performed. We heard a very talented choir composed of young English students - ages 10-18 or so. Magical!
