This church is one of the Baroque buildings found in Corsica. It is recognizable from afar with its distinctive bell tower, visible amidst the natural forest setting of the Costa Verde massif.

This little corner of paradise is popular with cyclists venturing into the surrounding area. You can take shelter there in bad weather or enjoy a picnic at the bench and table. All this while facing the sea with the forest in the foreground.

The Ucelluline waterfall is a nugget of Upper Corsica to discover during a hike. Corsica is full of majestic waterfalls, but the hike through the Ucelluline waterfall is a complete experience: the historic village of Santa-Maria-Poggio, the Genoese bridge of Bucatoggio or the ruins of a typical village of the Isle of Beauty, this hike is rich in discoveries. Come and meet the traces of this jewel of the Costa Verde, hidden on the edge of the magnificent Corniche road and offering a breathtaking view of the Tyrrhenian Sea!

The church was begun at the beginning of the seventeenth century and completed in 1717. In 1740, embellishment works were carried out. The wall paintings were painted by Luigi Pollero in 1810. The main façade consists of two levels delimited by cornices and surmounted by a triangular pediment with three acroteria. On the first level, on either side of the portal, there are two niches that house the statues of Saint Nicholas and Saint Peter. The church ends in a semicircular apse. The bell tower rises at the junction of the apse and the right side façade. It has five floors that end in a dome surmounted by a cross. The interior consists of a nave and five richly decorated side chapels. On either side of the altar there are caryatid angels. Building dating from the first quarter of the 17th century (?), mentioned in the report of the pastoral visit of Msgr. Marliani, Bishop of Mariana and Accia, in 1646. It was restored in 1686 with the collaboration of master masons Lorenzo Chiglione and Giovanni Filippi. Rebuilt in 1717 and 1740. Main door dating from 1766. Painted decoration (investigated in the Palissy database) carried out by the painter Luigi Polleri in 1810, as shown by the date on the inside of the building. Restored in 1896.

There is currently almost no water in the reservoir!

This church has a special location. Every time I cycled past it I just had to stop for a moment. Very beautiful. 👍🏻

Once you've fought your way up, you can cycle up here.

Great gem with wonderful views. The track has its steeper moments, but that's not too bad. The surface isn't always the best either, but it's not dramatic with a tire width of more than 25 mm. Definitely go there because there is almost no traffic and it is really impressive.
