Town Corte is set at the geographical heart of island Corsica. Contrary of the its sister fortress towns on the coast, Corte was not founded by the Genoese occupant, but governed by Pascal Paoli, the father of the Corsican independence movement, after he stormed the Citadelle de Corte in 1755. Corte was Paoli's capital - often called the "spiritual" capital, and the town epitomises inland Corsica. In the heart of the Corsican mountains, Corte is spectacularly set amongst brooding granite mountains with its Citadel rising high up from a rocky outcrop, the rooftops of the old town cascading down to a warren of narrow, cobbled streets, surrounded by the craved out gorges of former bandit country.
