The parish church dedicated to San Giorgio, the patron saint of the city, was built between 1831 and 1851 to replace the previous one that stood in the same location, which was demolished in 1804 to enlarge it following population growth. Built at the foot of the Rocca and next to the clock tower based on a design by the architect Giunchini, it features a neoclassical style with a facade that has two slopes and an interior with three naves divided by paired columns in Ionic style.
Inside, it houses a monumental statue of the patron saint on horseback, created by Giovanni Paci (1840), along with a canvas depicting the Saints of the Franciscan Order by the Bolognese painter Gaetano Gandolfi. Of great importance is the copy of the Polyptych by Carlo Crivelli, made by students of the Art Institute of Fermo since the original was dismantled and preserved in various foreign museums. In the square in front of the church, one can find the Clock Tower and the Fountain of Democracy, created by Alfonso Bernardini.
