City of Art and History, Bastia is also the chief town of Upper Corsica. Its old town has preserved its authentic aspect: typical narrow streets and the period buildings of the Terra-Vecchia district; old picturesque port, with its Saint-Jean-Baptiste church of the 17th century and the atmosphere of its cafés and restaurants. Near the old port, the Saint-Nicolas square is decorated with palm trees and is very lively with its cafe terraces, in particular during the market on Sunday morning. The marketplace, lined with old houses, is very appreciated for its traditional market. The Genoese citadel (Terra-Nova) was built between the 15th and the 17th century. Its ramparts are home to the Governors palace, the former residence of the Genoese governors, but also the saint-Marie cathedral of the 17th century and the oratory of the Sainte-Croix brotherhood (Sainte-Croix chapel) of the 15th century. | LOCALISATION IN UPPER CORSICA | | | |
