Construite entre 1554 et 1596 en forme de croix grecque, style renaissance, cette église dédiée à l'Assomption de la Vierge, remplace la chapelle Sainte Croix démolie en 1554 au moment de l'édification de la citadelle. Restée inachevée, la cathédrale d'Ajaccio est intéressante notamment à cause des trésors qu'elle renferme.
Tournée vers la mer, la cathédrale d'Ajaccio est un lieu à découvrir. Elle abrite entre autres la chapelle de la Madonna del Pianto (16ème siècle), de beaux stucs attribués au Tintoret fils et la Vierge du Sacré-Coeur d'Eugène Delacroix.
La chapelle de la Vierge de la Miséricorde, Sainte patronne d'Ajaccio, elle fut érigée en 1752 pour honorer le voeu collectif prononcé par les notables de la ville à la suite de la grande peste de 1656 qui allait épargner Ajaccio. Remarquez le retable avec incrustations de marbres rares et les belles colonnes torses en marbre jaune Brocatello d'Espagne. Dans la niche, se trouve la statue qui est portée en procession tous les 18 mars. Au fond à gauche, vous pourrez admirer Notre-Dame du Rosaire, chapelle funéraire des Bonaparte avant la construction de la Chapelle Impériale rue Fesch. Le maître-autel en marbre blanc et marqueterie de marbres provenant de Lucques en Italie (consacré en 1580) a été offert par Elisa Bacciochi, soeur de Napoléon. Remarquez également le retable en marbre noir de Porto Venere. Une belle statue en marbre de l'Immaculée Conception (18ème siècle) se trouve dans la 2ème chapelle à droite.
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption of Ajaccio
Built between 1554 and 1596 in the shape of a Greek cross, in the Renaissance style, this church dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin, replaces the Sainte Croix chapel demolished in 1554 at the time of the construction of the citadel. Unfinished, the cathedral of Ajaccio is interesting because of the treasures it contains.
Facing the sea, the cathedral of Ajaccio is a place to discover. It shelters among others the chapel of the Madonna del Pianto (16th century), beautiful stuccos attributed to Tintoret son and the Virgin of the Sacred Heart by Eugene Delacroix.
The chapel of the Virgin of Mercy, patron saint of Ajaccio, was erected in 1752 to honor the collective vow made by the town's notables following the great plague of 1656 which spared Ajaccio. Note the altarpiece with rare marble inlays and the beautiful spiral columns in yellow Brocatello marble from Spain. In the niche is the statue that is carried in procession every 18th of March. At the back on the left, you can admire Our Lady of the Rosary, funeral chapel of the Bonapartes before the construction of the Imperial Chapel on rue Fesch. The high altar in white marble and marble inlay from Lucca in Italy (consecrated in 1580) was offered by Elisa Bacciochi, sister of Napoleon. Note also the black marble altarpiece from Porto Venere. A beautiful marble statue of the Immaculate Conception (18th century) is in the second chapel on the right.
