The Marina hinterland is a very fertile agricultural area and was the reason behind many major feudal battles. Here is a small medieval church and adjacent graveyard on a hill within the village of Svinca. During the 18th century, it was dedicated to St. Catherine, but later St. George became its patron saint. Holy mass is celebrated at 12 noon on the first Sunday of the month and on St. George’s feast day, April 23rd.
