Balagne Corsica

San Rinieru Chapel can be found at 420 metres above sea level, between Montemaggiore and Lunghignano. Its cemetery dates back more than a thousand years.

In a Pisan Romanesque style and built around 1185, replacing an even older sanctuary, it is under the protection of Rainier, a holy Pisan hermit who died in 1160.

It was inaugurated by the Archbishop of Pisa and five Bishops of Corsica.
A polychrome building, it has a cross opening at the top of its facade surrounded by two human faces.

Formerly, on June 17, an important fair was held here, frequented by Pisan merchants and the Bishop of Sagone on whom this sector depended.
