Corsica: An Island Shaped by History | SLICE TRAVEL

By turns Greek, Roman, then Christian, threatened by the Saracens, Corsica is a land of memory. Vestiges of stone from the first human occupation and traces of dwellings and cultures can be read by those able to spot the clues. Architectural influences in Corsica have always been brought in from the outside, resulting in a heritage that bears testimony to the island’s entire history.
From villages perched on the mountainside to fortified towns with an Italianate look, or the 90 Genoese towers to warn of danger from the seas to the vast American style villas built by those who made their fortune on the other side of the Atlantic – together they make up the island’s soul.
