Historic site and monument : Town, village and district

Office de Tourisme Intercommunal, 14, cours soeur Amélie, 20100 Sartene


Presentation

According to the writer Prosper Mérimée, Sartène is "the most Corsican of all Corsican towns". Capital of the Terra dei Signori, the lofty façades of its thick-walled houses rise up like ramparts which resonate with the sounds of history. On Good Friday, the old town provides the backdrop for the impressive Le Catenacciu procession, in which a penitent dressed in a robe and red hood retraces the Passion of Christ, his feet shackled by a heavy chain and bearing a cross weighing 30 kilos. An unforgettable atmosphere of religious fervour and emotion.
