Description

Located on the road from Ile-Rousse towards the village of Corbara, this Romanesque chapel was built in 1098 on the ruins of a Phoenician temple dedicated to the god Baal.
The chapel was remodeled in the first half of the 18th century and restored in the 20th century. This elongated edifice comprises a single nave and a choir covered with an exposed wooden frame and featuring religious symbols. Two celebrations take place here: the first, on Easter Monday, with a procession and the blessing of eggs. The second takes place on September 16, the feast day of Saint-Cyprien and Saint-Corneille, at which mass is held to enthrone the Prior and new members of the Confrérie de pénit.
