Campagne bonifacienne, 20169 Bonifacio
Presentation
Bonifacio owes its renown to the majestic citadel that was built in the 9th century by Boniface II of Tuscany. Its Genoese influence and vivid colours evoke the traditions of a region which has managed to protect its historical and cultural heritage, while at the same time ensuring its economic development. The "Haute-Ville" (or Upper Town) which has most of the town's heritage of monuments and buildings, is built on a limestone peninsula 1,500 metres long, and 200 metres wide. Overlooking the straight, it juts out over the sea for 50 or 60 metres and dominates the Marina.
