A 189-step staircase in the 45° cliff face, built by monks and giving access to a drinking water spring.

At the end of Simon-Varsi street, 189 steps cut into the cliff at a 45° angle! They would have been dug in one night by the soldiers of the king of Aragon, Alphonse V, during the siege of 1420. However, the real builders would be the Franciscan monks who would have cut these steps to reach a drinking water source at the bottom of the cliffs. What is certain is that it is advisable to be well-shod to undertake this unforgettable walk of beauty.

Sacrée paire de marches
Pour 3 euros vous pourrez vous offrir une jolie descente puis une sportive remontée des quelques 187 marches de l'escalier de feu Louis Aragon.
Au pied des falaises de Bonifacio et tout proche de la mer, c'est à faire!

Un incontournable lors d'une visite à Bonifacio. La légende dit que les soldats aragonais ont taillé les marches dans la falaise mais l'ouvrage antérieur menait déjà à un puits.

Avec cet escalier et un peu de courage vous admirez un super paysage. Essayer de ne pas le faire en plein milieux d'après midi !
Celui ci reste payant mais à un prix tout à fait abordable.
Satisfaction personnelle assurée une fois en haut.
