Overlooking Saint-François Convent in Pino, Corsica

The Convent of Saint-François occupies a remote hillside spot overlooking the Ligurian Sea on the Cap Corse Peninsula of Corsica. While the 15th century building is no longer used for religious sanctuary, you can still make a pilgrimage there to enjoy the peace and tranquillity.

Explore the restored convent these days and you’ll discover a cultural centre, exhibition rooms, a media library and children’s play areas. There’s not a lot of movement on this feed during the day, but join it when the sun is starting to get low in the sky and you’ll see one of the prettiest Corsican sunsets imaginable.
