An asset to oil-farming tradition and an exceptional panoramic viewpoint... visitors will be captivated by the landscape of the gulf of Calvi.
The ruins of the old village of Montemaggiore are still visible on the site of A cima, offering an exceptional view of the Gulf of Calvi.

Grouped around A Cima, its oldest district, Montemaggiore welcomed part of the coastal population fleeing insecurity after the ruin of the diocese of Calvi.

The village contains beautiful alleys adorned with old houses with carved doors.
In his work "Souls in Purgatory", Mérimée evokes a "Don Juan" born in Seville in 1627, son of Donna Gelormina Anfriani born in Montemaiò and Tomaso Magnara born in Calvi. He seduces his half-sister, fled to Andalusia where, seized with remorse, he would have become a monk.

For many years and in honor of the balanine olive tradition, the "A Fiera di l'Alivu" (olive tree fair) takes place every July.

Sights:

Saint Rainier church: A multicoloured building located between Montemaggiore and Lunghignano (Cf. sights of Lunghignano village)

Saint Augustin parish church: A Baroque church dating from the late 16th century, with a classified organ balcony and a bell tower. St Augustin is carried in procession by the friars on 28 August.
