The village has had its Church of Saint Thomas since 1269, built by Andrea Malaspina. Amidst its arcades and numerous so-called "venelles," it houses a 16th-century image of the Virgin and Child, a 17th-century holy water font, and a marble statue of Saint Anthony the Baptist, discovered near Lozari. The latter, coveted by several communities, was therefore transported by oxen on a cart across the region and given to the village where the animals first stopped.

The charming little village of Occiglioni is worth a detour for many reasons. Its stone streets, typical of the Corsican maquis, give it a certain charm, and the shaded cafés are ideal for a refreshing break. Don't forget to enjoy the views from the village terraces.

ATTENTION ⚠️ The coastal path which connects Ghignu to Saleccia beach is a pure hiking trail! Absolutely not suitable for mountain biking or gravel!
