The most spectacular feature of the old town is the citadel, built inland in the century.
It is the most spectacular feature of the old town. Built in the 15th century, the citadel is perched atop a promontory some one hundred meters high. Unlike Genoese fortresses, it was built inland. Once a prison for political prisoners, then the headquarters of a Foreign Legion regiment until 1984, it now houses the Corsican Museum. Just before the entrance to the citadel, the belvedere on its rocky promontory offers an exceptional panorama of the mountain, the valley and the old town.

Visite de la citadelle et du musée très sympathique. Jolie vue sur la ville et les vallée depuis le haut de la citadelle, le musée renseigne sur les différentes facettes de la vie en Corse à plusieurs époques. Jolies mises en scène.

Une vue magninifique en haut de la citadelle, on y accede par les remparts. On peut voir les montagnes corses avec en haut des cimes un peu de neige
