The Corsican Cap is a mountain arising from the sea which was called by the Romans ‘the sacred headland’. Because of its strategic position in the center of the maritime routes, it is hugely attractive as the numerous Genoese towers along the two contrasting coastlines attest. It is one of the wildest and most unspoilt regions of our island which is what makes it so fascinating.
