This beautiful yellow neoclassical building that you see in the middle of its tropical garden is the seat of the prefecture of Corsica. Its construction was authorized by royal ordinance in 1822 and completed in 1830.
Let's talk a bit about Cardinal Fesch here. You went up his street and arrived in front of his statue, the museum named after him and the imperial chapel that we owe to him. But who is this famous cardinal?
You certainly see a few people in this narrow street, that's normal, you arrive in front of Napoleon Bonaparte's house. On August 15, 1769, the future French emperor was born here.
The pier of the Citadel brings you face to face with the horizon. It is the ideal place to immortalize the old port. Located in the Gulf of Ajaccio, the port includes 3 basins, separated by a cruise ship.
Don't be fooled by its small size, this pretty Baroque cathedral, with its ochre facade and its blue gray dome is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta.
