It holds the most unusual shrine in the town, the Notre-Dame de Monserato oratory and its Scala Santa, reached by a path starting behind the law courts. Further north, the Saint-Antoine district and its convent command the road that links Bastia to Saint-Florent and to Cardo. From the 1960s onwards, the hillside filled with terraced residential blocks, along the corniche and the avenue du Macchione, which enjoy the sea view.
