Saint-Florent Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Saint-Florent, France.
The Santa Maria Assunta cathedral stands near the road to Poggio d'Oletta, featuring typical elements of twelfth-century Romanesque religious architecture.
The cathedral served as the seat of the Bishop of Nebbio from its construction between 1125 and 1140 until 1801, when the diocese merged with Ajaccio.
The cathedral holds national monument status since 1840, representing the religious heritage of northern Corsica through its architectural elements.
The former episcopal palace adjacent to the cathedral, constructed in 1611, underwent reconstruction in 1714 before its eventual destruction.
Coastal insecurity and malaria in surrounding marshes led bishops to abandon the cathedral, which was later occupied by Genoese troops in 1748.
