Calvi Cathedral
Located in the citadel, the cathedral was originally built in the 13th century, and seems to have been destroyed in 1555, during the siege of the city by the French and Turks, whose fleets bombed the citadel. In 1567, lightning struck the powder magazines of the citadel and destroyed the church. It will be rebuilt in 1570, after a partial destruction. However, work only began around 1600, the choir was not completed until 1628 and the rest of the building in 1747. It became pro-cathedral in 1576 thanks to Pope Gregory XIII, when the bishops of Sagona established their residence there and during this period it became the seat of the diocese of Sagona.
