An attractive town in the heart of the island, Corte offers the visitor a high citadel, a difficult but rewarding walk from the town, and the impressive Museum of Corsica, home to the island’s anthropological history.

Housed within the 13th century Fort Matra, the museum boasts wonderful Roman remains and artefacts taken from the nearby excavation site, which is also open to visitors.

Located inside the Fesch Palace in Ajaccio, the Museum offers a superb art collection in a quite exquisite setting, with paintings on display by artists including Titian, Veronese and Manetti.
