Pointe Kyrie Eleison, Mountain summit in Haute-Corse, France
The Pointe Kyrie Eleison reaches an elevation of 1510 meters, featuring steep inclines and dense vegetation across its ascending paths.
In the 14th century, members of the Giovannali religious group faced persecution and execution near this mountain under orders from Pope Innocent VI.
The mountain's name originates from Greek liturgical words meaning 'Lord have mercy', connecting to religious ceremonies performed in the local area.
Hikers need to follow detailed IGN maps and navigate through unmarked sections of the trail, which rises 800 meters over 2 kilometers.
According to local accounts, white doves emerged from funeral pyres and flew toward the mountain peaks during a memorial service for executed sect members.
