Corté, the heart of Corsica

Geographical heart of the island, Corte was also the capital of Corsica, from 1755 to 1769 !

Geographical heart of the island, Corte was also the capital of Corsica, from 1755 to 1769, during the “government of the Corsican nation” of Pascal Paoli and the city has preserved many testimonies of this period such as the National Palace.

The old town has an authentic character. Its old houses, in schist and with Genoese shutters, form a harmonious whole. A belvedere allows you to observe, below, the confluence of three rivers: the Restonica, the Tavignanu and the Orta. Overlooking the old town, the fortifications of the citadel house the Regional Museum of Anthropology of Corsica. The southern point of the enclosure has a second level, a rocky promontory on which stands the castle of Vincentello d’Istria. This eagle’s nest offers a breathtaking view of the city and the beautiful surrounding mountains.
