San-Martino-di-Lota

The village stretches across terraced landscapes at 260 meters elevation, offering views between the Mediterranean Sea and forest-covered mountains.

The parish church of Saint Martin, constructed in the 17th century, features a classical nave and contains an altarpiece created by monks from Mola convent.

Residents maintain the tradition of weaving palm leaves during the week preceding Palm Sunday, preparing decorations for the religious celebration.

The commune provides administrative services through its municipal office, which handles documentation and procedures for the local population of 2,996 inhabitants.

The former burial ground, known as U sacraziu, served as the village cemetery until 1812, with deceased residents interred within the church walls.
