Corte is a proud mountain town in central Corsica known for its dramatic citadel its narrow lanes and its strong sense of island identity. The town rises above the meeting of two rivers and its stone houses cluster along steep streets that lead toward the fortress perched high on a rocky outcrop. From the citadel viewpoints open onto rugged valleys sharp ridges and forests that show the wild heart of the island. Corte is home to the Corsican university which adds a youthful energy to its historic center. Trails gorges and clear rivers lie close to the town and give easy access to nature. Altogether Corte brings together mountains heritage and Corsican spirit in a balanced harmonious way.
