Roman Catholic Diocese of Mariana in Corsica

The Diocese of Mariana in Corsica (Latin: Dioecesis Marianensis) was a Roman Catholic ecclesiastical territory in Mariana, Corsica, in the north-eastern corner of the island.[1][2] In 1563 the diocese was united with the Diocese of Acci(a) to form the Diocese of Accia and Mariana.[2] Both dioceses were poor and had lost population. Mariana had been abandoned and its bishop lived in Bastia to the north, the seat of the civil government of the island. The Cathedral sat alone near the banks of the River Golo some three miles from the sea, in the midst of fields.
