Historic rain gutters at the Citadel, Bonifacio

Highlight • Monument

Bonifacio is a port town on the southern tip of the French Mediterranean island of Corsica (Corse-du-Sud) with about 3000 inhabitants, which gave its name to the Strait of Bonifacio - between Corsica and the island of Sardinia, 12 kilometers away , The town is divided into two areas: the Ville Haute (Upper Town) called medieval old town and the marina in the harbor area. The port of Bonifacio, with the limestone plateau in the south and the old town, is probably one of the most impressive in the Mediterranean. The panorama, which offers itself from the many vantage points, illustrates why Bonifacio was always driven as a refuge from the unpredictable weather and ocean currents in the Strait of Bonifacio. The unique location made the city again and again the center of armed conflict, which is why it has been developed over time into a fortress. Viewpoints reveal the sandstone cliffs built into houses, into which the sea has dug deeper and deeper over the centuries so that caves have formed. These are best seen from the sea, from where the so-called staircase of the King of Aragon can be admired, whose steps carved into the stone lead from the upper town to the sea.
