Corsica - Corte 01

Corte - a small town in the heart of Corsica was once the capital of the island (1755-1769). It is in a great location for exploring the mountains, valleys and scenery of central Corsica. Apart from the village itself, set on its rocky outcrop above the Tavignano valley, the main places of interest in Corte itself are the citadel and the Museum of Corsica (within the citadel). The citadel is visible from anywhere in the area, being perched high on a craggy rock, and can be reached by narrow steep streets up the hill.
