Bastia Cathedral, Religious landmark in Bastia, France

The cathedral exhibits ornate Baroque architecture with a prominent bell tower that dominates the cityscape and features elaborate sculptural elements on its exterior.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1753 under architect Francesco Morandi and achieved pro-cathedral status in 1860 following the establishment of the diocese.

The cathedral interior displays regional artistic elements, including altarpieces and sculptures created by local craftsmen who contributed to the church's decorative features.

Located in central Bastia, the cathedral maintains regular opening hours for both religious services and tourist visits, with guided tours available throughout the day.

Natural light flows through strategically placed windows and ceiling designs, creating patterns that change throughout the day across the cathedral's decorated surfaces.
