Sartène (Sartè) Sights

  1. Église Ste-Marie

    The bell tower of Église Ste-Marie rises above place Porta, which is still sometimes called place de la Libération. It boasts a superb altarpiece of polychrome marble (formerly in the Couvent St-François) and canvasses of the Stations of the Cross dating from 1843. The chains and cross used during the Catenacciu procession are also on display.

  2. Hôtel de Ville

    Next to Église Ste-Marie is the building that now houses the Hôtel de Ville , but which, in the 16th century, was the palace of the Genoese lieutenants. If you go through the gateway below this former palace, you will come out on the narrow streets of the Santa Anna district, which is the real jewel of the old town. Try to find the delightful impasse Carababa.
