Corsica

Town Square sights in Corsica

  1. Place St-Nicolas

    Bastia's buzzing focal point is the 19th-century square of place St-Nicolas, which sprawls along the seafront between the ferry port and the harbour. Named after the patron saint of sailors – a nod to Corsica's seagoing heritage – the square is lined with plane trees and a string of attractive terrace cafés along its western edge, as well as a statue of Napoléon Bonaparte.
