Presentation
Église Sainte-Dévote is the church dedicated to Saint Devota, patron saint of the Principality, the princely family and the Archdiocese, as well as of Corsica, the place of her martyrdom. Built in its present form in the 19th century on the site of an old chapel, it became a parish in 1871. According to tradition, the body of the saint, martyred in the 4th century, was carried to the harbour by a boat guided by a dove. Every 26 January, the eve of the patronal feast, the arrival of the relics by sea, the release of a dove and prayers recall this story. The parish welcomes a lively community and offers masses and activities.
