Church of baroque style, a site full of history, where several Christians would have suffered martyrdom, in the lower town of Calvi.

The baroque-style storefront is painted pink and beige and is located in the lower town. According to hagiographic legend, several Christians were martyred here on the orders of the emperor Diocletian. One of the victims, Restituta, a wealthy Roman patrician who had taken refuge in Calvi, was arrested by the Corsican prefect, Pyrrhus, then tried, tortured and beheaded on May 21, 304. Her relics now rest in the Romanesque chapel at Calenzana.
