The church, located in the middle of a cemetery, was built in the 11th century in the Pisan-Romanesque style. It is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Corsica. It was recently extensively renovated with funds from the EU and the Corsican regional association.

The former fishing village was expanded into a trading port with city fortifications by Pascal Paoli in 1759 during the Corsican Republic in order to have a Corsican port opposite Calvi, which was still Genoese at the time. The late founding of the town is still clearly visible due to the division of the town area into regular street squares. The official language was Italian until 1848.

The region has been inhabited since the 5th to 3rd millennium BC. Around 1000 BC, the town of Agila existed there, which was dependent on the city of Tyros (Phoenicia). The Romans maintained a base called Rubico Rocega at this location during their rule over Corsica until the 4th century AD. After that, the current urban area was almost uninhabited except for a few fishermen and farmers due to its proximity to the coast and the resulting vulnerability to enemy attacks. It was not until the 16th century that residents of the nearby town of Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna opened the first shops near the coast for trade with neighboring communities by sea.

L’Île-Rousse got its name from the red porphyry rocks in front of the harbor entrance – the Île de la Pietra. This island is now connected to the island of Corsica by a causeway.
