No less interesting is the Church of St. Egidius, which is considered to be one of the oldest religious monuments in the city. The very first church on its site was built in 1245, and it was a spectacular Gothic-style monument. Throughout the centuries, the church has been rebuilt several times. Today its appearance retains some unique Baroque features. The last major reconstruction of the church was completed in 1998. Despite numerous renovations, unique 15th-century frescoes are carefully preserved inside.
A very interesting monument of the 12th century is the Church of St. George, originally a majestic temple in the late Romanesque style. Today, only small fragments are left of the very first church. Its southern portal and several external walls of the nave have remained unchanged. Next to the church is an ancient Renaissance-style bell tower built in the second half of the 16th century. Many years ago, fairs were often held near the church. An ancient measure, which was used for weighing grain, is a preserved reminder of the old times.
