San Saturno
This paleo-Christian complex dates back as early as to the 5th century. The church was built in Provençal-Romanesque style and consecrated in the 11th century, which makes it the oldest in the city.
Its older section, facing the Bastion of Saint Remy with a granite plinth and terracotta decorations, was designed by Nicolò Mura. The more recent section along the Via Sulis was designed by Riccardo Simonetti, and has an interesting round wall facing the piazza Marghinotti.
This impressive fortification was built in the late 19th century. Climb the huge stairways to be rewarded by a stunning view of the city, the sea and the mountains. Or use the elevator.
The cloister dates back to the 15th century. It was restored after World War II.
