Escalier du Roi d’Aragon
From the citadel, the Escalier du Roi d’Aragon cuts down the southern cliff-face. Its 187 steps were supposedly carved in a single night by Aragonese troops during the siege of 1420, although the troops were rebuffed by retaliating Bonifacio residents once they reached the top.
