Dedicated to the patron saint of the city, the current temple was blessed in 1921. Neo-Romanesque historicist building, with careful interior decoration in the Neo-Byzantine style. Project by the architect Timoteo Briet (1913), in which Vicente Valls Gadea also intervened. The apse of the temple is decorated by a large pictorial mural, the work of F. Cabrera Cantó, which represents the mythical intervention of Saint George in aid of the Alcoyans, in 1276, on the occasion of the attack on the town of Alcoy by Muslim troops. This iconography summarizes the faith and tradition of a town that honors its patron Saint George with the annual Moors and Christians Festival.
