Architecture sights in Bonifacio

  1. A

    Église Ste-Marie Majeure

    The unmissable Église Ste-Marie Majeure was built by the Pisans and was completed in the 14th century. Although it has been modified on numerous occasions and has gradually lost its original style, it retains its main feature, the loggia, under the arches of which the notables of the town used to gather. Opposite it is the old cistern, in which the town formerly collected rainwater from the many aqueducts running above the streets of the vieille ville.

    Église St-Dominique

    To the west of the Montée St-Roch citadel is the Église St-Dominique, one of the few Gothic churches in Corsica. It houses an altarpiece made of polychrome marble that dates back to the mid-18th century, as well as reliquaries carried in processions through the town during a number of religious festivals.
