Corte
In the center of the island, Corte was the capital of independent Corsica in the middle of the 18th century.
It still bears, with singular intensity, the mark of its former greatness.
A historic and university town, Corti is built around its Citadel which dominates from its “Eagle’s Nest” the valleys of the Restonica and Tavignanu rivers.
At the confluence of the granite massif of the west and the schistose alpine chain of the east, it is a real natural lock between the Below and the Beyond of the mountains.
The richness and diversity of its nearby mountain area offer a multitude of faces for the walker.
Since 1997, Corte has housed the Regional Museum of Anthropology of Corsica, a sanctuary of island culture and heritage.
