Presentation

Nestling in the sweet chestnut woods on the slopes of Monte San Petrone, this village was built along a mountain ridge. The houses here are traditional in style, built in schist, rubble stone and slate, with austere façades. The commune is proud of its church, the Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste, which is one of the masterpieces of Baroque architecture in Corsica. Its magnificent 45m-high bell tower is visible from miles around. Both the pediment and 5-storey bell tower are in pure Rococo style.
