The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Clocher en pierre de granit accolé à l'église. De plan carré, il comporte trois niveaux soulignés de moulurations. Le premier niveau est aveugle. Les deux étages supérieurs sont percés de baies allongées, surmontées d'un arc en plein cintre. Le monument se termine par un clocheton octogonal, surmonté d'une coupole à pans coupés. Ce clocheton est percé de quatre fenestrons surmontés de petits frontons triangulaires. Ce type d'architecture se retrouve dans de nombreux villages du haut Taravo et de l'Alta Rocca et doit dater de la première moitié du 19e siècle.

History
Bell tower in granite stone adjoined to the church. Of square plan, it has three levels underlined by mouldings. The first level is blind. The two upper storeys are pierced by elongated openings, surmounted by a round arch. The monument ends with an octagonal bell turret, topped by a dome with cut facets. This bell turret is pierced by four small windows surmounted by small triangular pediments. This type of architecture is found in many villages of the haute Taravo and the Alta Rocca and should date from the first half of the 19th century.
