Church of the Trinity, Aregno
Église de la Trinité et San Giovanni
A 12th-century Pisan Romanesque chapel built of alternating white and green stone, with a weathered carved facade, one of Balagne's architectural treasures.
The Church of the Trinity was built in the 12th century, during Pisan rule, from alternating white and blue-green granite. Its facade has arcades and carvings of animals and figures, and the statue of 'the Man Removing a Thorn' is particularly well known. The interior has 15th-century frescoes. The church stands beside the cemetery below the village of Aregno, surrounded by olive groves, and the setting is peaceful. You can stop here on the way around Balagne's hill villages. Opening hours for the interior vary, but you can always take photos of the exterior.
