SANTA MARIA ASSUMPTA CATHEDRAL

description

The ancient cathedral of the bishopric of Nebbiu was probably built on the ruins of a Paleo-Christian basilica. Dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta probably dates from the first quarter of the 12th century. The first document mentioning the building dates back to 1144. Listed as a Monument Historique in 1840, it has undergone major restoration campaigns. The building combines the sobriety of its era with the richness of its ornamentation.
During the summer season, the commune of Saint-Florent ensures that this prestigious edifice is always open to visitors. A perfect setting for sacred chants, you'll have the pleasure of listening to a variety of polyphonic concerts in the evening, introducing you to the many rich sounds of our culture.

The cathedral is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30am to 7:30pm. Sunday: open from 2pm to 7:30pm.
