Description
Pointe Kyrie Eleison is a mountain summit in Haute-Corse rising to approximately 1510 meters with steep slopes covered in dense forest and shrubland. The climb passes through different vegetation zones, with terrain conditions that vary depending on the season.
History
The mountain is linked to religious events of the 14th century when a religious group faced persecution in the region. These events have rooted this place deeply in local history.
Culture
The name comes from Greek liturgical chants heard in religious ceremonies throughout the region. Visitors can sense the spiritual connection this place holds for people living in the surrounding communities.
