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.

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.

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

The suggested route is basically manageable even for inexperienced hikers. In my opinion, you should definitely wear sturdy (ankle-high) shoes if you want to go further than the bathing area. The bridge is a fun way to start, the waterfall is of course (in August) completely crowded, the rest area at the chapel is pleasant and the view and landscape in general is great. The way back on the road is relatively risky with the Corsican traffic.

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

Beautiful old stone bridge. You can swim underneath. Next to it is a small ruin.
