The church is the largest church in Corsica. It was built between 1636 and 1666.

Saint-Florent is also known as "the Corsican Saint-Tropez" because of its Mediterranean flair. In the 1970s, Saint-Florent was a place for the jet set. The town is located high in the northwest of the island of Corsica on the Gulf of the same name between the almost uninhabited Désert des Agriates and Cap Corse.

Saint-Florent dates back to a small settlement that once arose in the protection area of the Genoese round fortress. The citadel was built by the Genoese in 1440 and served as the seat of the Bishop of Nebbio and the governor's palace until the 18th century. The small Pianese church from the 12th century, Santa Maria Assunta, was built as a cathedral for the then diocese of Nebbio.

Although malaria raged devastatingly, the town was fiercely fought over by the French, Genoese and Corsicans in the 16th century. However, little remains of the fortress built in 1439, apart from the round keep. The fortress itself was demolished in the 17th century when Genoa's rule seemed secure and Saint-Florent no longer had any strategic importance. The town experienced a new growth spurt after Napoleon III ordered the draining of the swamps, thus eradicating the cause of malaria.

Saint-Florent (Corsican: San Fiurenzu; Italian: San Fiorenzo) is a French commune and the capital of the Nebbio region on the Mediterranean island of Corsica with 1,689 inhabitants.

Cute village with good bakery

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this church in Bastia is dedicated, is—like Saint Joseph—a man on the threshold between the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After announcing the Incarnation through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who, in her old age, will give birth to a son, John the Baptist. John the Baptist is six months older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sin to the Jewish population, and baptizes them in the Jordan River. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, where he is filled with the Holy Spirit, who descends upon him from heaven. The feast day of Saint Jean Baptiste in the calendar of saints is June 24, exactly six months before Christmas Eve.

Beautiful old town with several restaurants and shops. Boat tours such as Plage de Saleccia are offered at the harbor.
