Sartene

(Sartene · Corsica)

Hanged on a rock, the medieval city dominates the Rizzanèse valley. The 16th century atalaya (angular tower) is the last vestige of the wall that existed in the past. The houses and mansions of grey granite in the old city form a harmonious set. The passages are picturesque and the streets are paved with beautiful granite slabs. The vineyards of Sartène are known for their wine with a controlled designation of origin (DOC).
