ÉGLISE DE SAINT-ESPRIT
Churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels
Read moreFounded in 1758, the Baroque-inspired church dominates the village of Saint-Esprit, making it its first historic monument. Its handsome volumes were altered several times following the hurricanes of 1951 and 1962. It houses a Russian bell known as Sebastopol, brought back from the Crimean War, in which a contingent of Martiniquais took part. To thank Martinique, Admiral Bruat, the island's former governor, brought back bells. Since then, the parish has been animated by numerous Sunday masses and choirs.
