Ancien couvent Saint-François d'Oletta, Franciscan convent in Oletta, France.
The Saint-François convent stands two kilometers from Oletta village in Haute-Corse, featuring structures from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with medieval elements.
Established in 1390 upon earlier medieval foundations, this religious complex ranked third among Corsican convents according to the 1260 Narbonne chapter records.
The national printing press Stamperia della verita, founded by Pascal Paoli in 1758, operated within the convent walls publishing historical documents.
The monastery complex includes a chapel registered as a historical monument since 1974 and now serves as a venue for artistic events.
During the fifteenth century, religious services were conducted with weapons placed on the altar to maintain order among the congregation.
