Meander through the alleyways of the citadel, as you were discovering an open-air museum travelling in time…

Description

The historic heart of the citadel or old millenary city overlooking the cliffs of Bonifacio,  will most certainly be enhanced by the complexity of these charming paved alleyways that always open onto a small square where you can find a restaurant, or a church, or a panorama, or these buildings with their slender facades…

One loves to loose oneself enthralled and wandering in these tight streets… Numerous streets are surmounted with flying buttresses and arcades with slate gutters joining the neighbouring houses to the Sainte Marie Majeure Church. These arcades were aqueducts and were part of the ingenious rainwater catchment system filling a cistern…

Take the time to discover this remarkable patrimony…
