Superb view from the citadel

Highlight • Settlement

The ascent requires some stairs - but you have a very nice view of the Vieux Port. You can also chill out and enjoy the bar, restaurant or pizzeria.

🌅 Bastia's Seafront – Atmosphere & Character
The promenade in Bastia doesn't stretch along a traditional, continuous sandy beach, but rather runs in several sections along the coastline – particularly between the Old Port (Vieux Port), Place Saint-Nicolas, and the new marina. Instead of wide sandy beaches, rocky stretches, smaller bays, and the proximity to urban city life dominate.
🏛️ Sights & Highlights
Vieux Port (Old Port): The picturesque old port is the centerpiece. Framed by pastel-colored houses and cafés, it invites you to stroll and linger.

Place Saint-Nicolas: One of the largest squares in France, lined with palm trees, right on the water. Ideal for strolls with views of the sea and the ferries.

Marina & Modern Waterfront Promenade: Located just south of the old port, with more modern facilities, boats, and yachts. A section of walking paths along the coast also begins here.

Place Saint-Nicolas

The main square of Bastia is beautiful. On the one side you can see the mountains behind the partly dilapidated houses and on the other side the big ships of the ferry harbor. The square is surrounded by palm trees and plane trees and here you will find many restaurants and cafes.

Cathedral of St. Mary Assunta

Highlight • Other

The Cathedral of Sainte-Marie de Bastia, also known as Santa Maria Assunta, is an outstanding example of Baroque architecture in the heart of the citadel of Bastia. It was built between 1604 and 1619 on the remains of an older church and is dedicated to the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

The cathedral is Baroque in style with a 19th-century neoclassical façade. Its interior features a three-aisled basilica, measuring 44.7 meters long, 23.35 meters wide, and 17.1 meters high. The choir is slightly raised and ends in a semicircular apse decorated with a radiating ceiling. A striking feature are the ceremonial hats of the bishops buried in the crypt, which hang from the choir ceiling.
