The baroque basilica San Ġorġ (St. George) is located on the Pjazza San Ġorġ south of the market square in the capital Victoria of the Maltese island of Gozo. It was built between 1672 and 1678, but was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1693 and was therefore not consecrated until 1755. The facade was re-clad in 1818.
