Église Sainte-Croix de Bastia (Oratoire de la Confrerie de Sainte Croix) is a Catholic church in Bastia, Haute-Corse, Corsica. The building was classified as a Historic Monument in 1931. The church is located in the citadel of Bastia (Terra-Nova), in the historic center of the city, next to the Church of the Assumption of St. Mary.[1]
The church was founded in 1542 to host the statue of the Black Christ, found in the sea by fishermen.[2] Most of the current building originates in the 18th century. Only the interior of the church is protected.[1]
