Church of Saint Anthony Abbot

The Church of Saint Anthony Abbot is a Roman Catholic parish church in Aregno, Corsica. The church is about above sea level. Some of its inventory was declared a monument historique on February 9, 1995. It is a Baroque-style building and is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Egypt.

Architecture

The church was inspired by the Church of the Gesù in Rome, visible on the church's façade. The church is two floors and is decorated with scattered pilasters and cornices. The entrance is surmounted by a curved pediment, as opposed to a triangular one, which is common in Corsica.
The church is decorated with two paintings on canvas:

The Death of St. Francis Xavier
''The Madonna of the Rosary with St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena''

Festivals

Every January 17, the feast day of Saint Anthony, the town's orange crop is blessed and distributed to participants.
Every August, the Almond Fair is held. It revolves around the town's almond crop and local products, and regional craft stalls are set up. The Fair was first held in 1996.
