Because it was still very warlike here at that time, this church was built quite massively, since it also served as a fortification. Construction began in the 13th century, and extensions were made up until the 16th century.

located in the hamlet of Lingueglietta, it is a former religious building (from the mid-13th century) transformed into a fortress, for defensive reasons, at the time of the Barbary raids.

of the town there are three important things to visit: the castle, of which little remains in the central square, the adjacent church of Romanesque structure and the underlying fortified church just below the town. Witnesses of the importance of Lingueglietta as a fortified village halfway up the hill. The Via della Costa in gravel passes through here, as well as the numerous descents towards the sea on mule tracks with the MTB.
