Several inscriptions, dotted around the inside of the chapels, indicate its construction period, between 1551 and 1598, but it is sufficient to admire the bright façade and the internal layout, comparing them to the churches of Santa Giulia in Padria and San Francesco in Alghero, in order to place the church of San Giorgio among the most perfect examples of Gothic-Aragonese architecture on the island. The Parish Church of Pozzomaggiore is the heart, as well as the most precious building, of the historic centre of the Logudoro village of Meilogu, fief of the de Ferrera family of Alghero between the 15th and 16th centuries.

The sandstone ashlar façade is closed by two slanting lateral buttresses and divided into two orders by a cornice decorated with a vine shoot. In the lower one, there is a portal over which there is a large arch decorated with small columns and pinnacles, while the upper order is dominated by a rose window. There is a spire on top of the square-shaped bell tower.
