Experts' Choice Award Citadel
What the experts agree on
Historic hilltop fortress dominating the coastline with dramatic sea views from its bastions. Housing a museum dedicated to Corsican culture and history, it remains a striking military structure built centuries ago.
“The 19th-century barracks now houses the tourist office and the Museu di a Corsica, a must-see for Corsica culture buffs. It’s a joint admission for the museum and citadel.”
