Calvi

Calvi is best known within Corsica for its Genoese citadel, which rises above the Bay of Calvi on the island’s northwest coast. Behind its massive ramparts, narrow lanes pass centuries of military architecture, recalling the port’s long strategic importance to the Republic of Genoa. In 1794, British forces captured Calvi after a siege; during the campaign, Horatio Nelson suffered the eye injury that eventually cost him sight in it. Facing the Mediterranean, Calvi also anchors the Balagne, a region of beaches, maquis-covered hills and old inland towns.
