Lucciana Cathedral, officially the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption of Lucciana (French: ''Cathédrale Sainte-Marie-de-l'Assomption de Lucciana''), also called La Canonica and Santa Maria Assunta of Bastia, is a former Roman Catholic cathedral and national monument of Corsica located in the town of Lucciana. ==History== During antiquity, Mariana was an important Roman military colony, founded in 93 BC by Gaius Marius. Christianity was implanted there early (proven by a Christian complex dating from the fourth century) and the diocese of Mariana was established in the fifth century, making it one of the first in Corsica's history. The diocese became the seat of the suffragan of the archdiocese of Pisa in 1092, like all dioceses of Corsica. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in Venice is based on the eleventh century site known as ''La Canonica'' and was dedicated in 1119 by the archbishop of Pisa. The diocese was connected with the archdiocese of Genoa and the bishoprics of Accia and Nebbio. It remained the seat of the bishop of Mariana from 1269 to 1440, when it was moved to Vescovato Cathedral. In 1563, Pope Pius IV merged the dioceses of Mariana and Accia, then removed them entirely in favor of the diocese of Bastia (Bastia Cathedral became the seat of the diocese in 1507). Bastia and all other Corsican bishoprics were suppressed in favor of the Bishop of Ajaccio in 1801. The church was listed by Prosper Mérimée after returning from his trip to Corsica in 1886 and was made a monument historique (a national heritage site of France) on July 12 in the same year. In 2003, Prince Rainier III of Monaco presented the cathedral with a statue of Saint Devota, patron saint of both Corsica and Monaco. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucciana Cathedral」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
