The Arca U Campu Santu, a communal tomb dating from the 18th century in the cemetery of Zévaco, bears witness to a tradition of collective burial deeply rooted in rural island communities, which continued until 1830.

Culture and History
On a ridge at the boundary between Corrano and Zévaco are the ruins of a Romanesque chapel dedicated to San Biasgiu. On 2 February, small loaves are baked and blessed as part of the “I panioli di San Biasgiu” tradition.
The former chapel of Arca was restored and has been classified as a historic monument since 1981. Zévaco is also home to the remains of the San Gavinu chapel and an ancient Bronze Age village.
Cuisine
The Auberge U Taravu in Zévaco offers traditional cuisine made with high-quality agricultural products. It also offers direct sales and tastings of the farm’s agricultural produce.
The traditional Andreucci farm, which raises Nustrale pigs, produces farm-style charcuterie with AOP status. The Andreucci family’s chestnut groves provide flour used in typical products, which can also be sampled. In Zévaco, visitors can also taste traditional cured meats, honey, and jams.
