Churches, Chapels, Convents, Mausoleums...

| The 11th century in Pisa witnessed the
birth of romanesque churches and chapels (only nave and semi-cylindrical
apse) in the Cap Corse. |

Most of them were rebuilt under the
italian baroque influence and so are ornamented. The church, the
campanile, the presbytery and the chapel of brotherhood complete
the religious structure of the village.
