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.

Arrivé là-haut, il y a un petit panorama sur les montagnes. Pour accéder aux remparts de la citadelle il faut passer par le musée qui lui est payant.
It is a very nice, filled with history. You should go to the Tourist Office to ask the " runs patrimonial" , plan is very well, it makes you visit the various monuments of the city with small explanations.

Cette citadelle située sur un rocher est belle et imposante. Apres avoir traversé la ville on accède par les escaliers aux remparts. Petit jardin aménagé et surtout une vue magnifique sur la veille ville et les montagnes .Par contre le stationnement est délicat…
