A
Oratoire de la Confrérie St-Antoine
Wander over to the place d'Armes and take a little street to the left to come to the Oratoire de la Confrérie St-Antoine , a charitable institution that has been active in Corsica since the 14th century. Behind the façade, which features a primitive slate lintel depicting the abbot St Antoine, are walls painted with 15th- and 16th-century frescoes (some, alas, severely timeworn).
On the north wall, an ivory Christ attributed to the Florentine sculptor Jacopo d'Antonio Tati, known as Le Sansevino.
