Église Saint-Sauveur de Saorge

The church exhibits red stucco-covered columns, a black stone baptismal font, and baroque decorations from the eighteenth century.

A fire in 1465 destroyed the original church dedicated to Saint Anthony, leading to the reconstruction of the current building around 1500.

The structure reflects Saorge's peak prosperity period in the 17th century, when the village housed twenty-two notaries.

The square bell tower houses a carillon of four bells, all cast in Nice between 1803 and 1834.

The organ, installed in 1847 by the Lingiardi brothers from Pavia, maintains its original structure after multiple restorations.
