The Church of Saint George, in Ptuj, is one of the oldest churches in Slovenia. It is located behind the monolithic Roman tombstone, the Monument of Orpheus. The church was used as a pillory in the Middle Ages and was of major important to life in the town. Records indicate it was built around 1140.[1] The paintings, whose remains are on walls, were made from the late 13th to the end of the 15th century. In 1863 the church became Provost.[2]
