Chapelle Notre-Dame de Lazio, Chapel in Corbara, Corsica, France
The chapelle Notre-Dame de Lazio is a small stone chapel in the village of Corbara, in the Balagne region of Corsica, France. It is listed as a protected historical monument and sits on a gentle hillside, with plain walls and a small bell tower.
The chapel was built several centuries ago as a place of prayer for the people of Corbara and nearby villages. Its listing as a monument historique came later, formalizing the protection of the building and its original fabric.
The chapel is easy to reach on foot and works well as a stop during a walk around the Corbara area. It is worth checking access conditions before visiting, as the interior is not always open to the public.
The name Lazio links this small Corsican chapel to an Italian region of the same name, which is an unusual connection for a village place of worship on the island. This may point to old ties between Corsica and the Italian peninsula, possibly through pilgrimage or trade routes.
