Lonely Planet review for Citadel

Behind Jardin Romieu looms Bastia's citadel, built from the 15th to 17th centuries as a stronghold for the city's Genoese masters. One of the citadel's landmarks, the Palais des Gouverneurs houses Musée d'Histoire de Bastia, which provides an overview of the history of the city. A few streets to the south, don't miss the majestic Église Ste-Marie and the nearby Église Ste-Croix, featuring gilded ceilings and a mysterious black-oak crucifix, which was found in the sea in 1428.
