Murato

This village, set at an altitude of 500 metres in a green setting, is brimming with heritage and architectural treasures.

The first of these treasures is undoubtedly the ^12th-century church of Saint-Michel, in typical Pisan style, located at the entrance to the village. Listed as a Monument Historique in 1875, the church is distinguished by its alternating green and white stones, irregularly assembled, reminiscent of many Tuscan churches.

This chapel, which according to legend was built in a single night by angels, is now one of the island's most photographed religious buildings. It is also the starting point for numerous hikes. Also worth a visit is the chapel of Saint-Jean-l'Évangéliste. This chapel has the unusual feature of a triangular bell tower (there are only three of this type in Corsica, including one in Corte).

The heart of the village, rich in heritage, can also be explored on foot.

In terms of historical heritage, Murato occupies a special place in the hearts of Corsicans, since during his struggle for independence in the ^mid-18th century, Pascal Paoli established his headquarters here for a time and had the national currency minted here.

Today, the village remains a must-see, famous for its producers of charcuterie and chestnut flour.
