Many beliefs are strongly rooted in traditional island culture. In 1930, Lecci was a place of pilgrimage, the inhabitants of the island moved to celebrate St. Therese representing an intermediary between the divine and the human world, a legend says that the Holy of Water began to flow on her body. The windows of the church beautifully illustrate and honor the patron saint of the town: Saint-Andre, but also St. Therese.

Tour of the Genoese period overlooking the beautiful beach of Saint-Cyprien. There is also a few vestiges of an early Christian basilica in the estuary of Oso.

Benedettu, where we find the remains of a tower destroyed in 1650 during the Turkish invasions.

Corsica contains an underwater archaeological heritage rich and largely untapped. There are on the town and around multiple submarine sites of some scientific interest. The magnitude of these underwater archaeological wealth, justifies the creation of a center for study and research underwater archeology.
