Bastia: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The first structure of Bastia’s citadel was a keep built at the end of the 14th century on the orders of the Genoese governor Leonello Lomelline. The gardens of the Musée de Bastia are located above the Old Port and offer views of the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.

The Church of Saint John the Baptist is the largest church in Corsica and was built between 1636 and 1666. It has a swallow’s-nest organ gallery dated 1742, decorated with three paintings depicting scenes from the life of Saint John the Baptist.
The Sainte-Marie Cathedral was built between 1604 and 1619 and is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. In Bastia’s Rue Napoléon, the Oratory of the Immaculate Conception has a forecourt with a pebble mosaic.

Bastia’s Old Port is situated on a bay around which old buildings in the Tuscan style are arranged in an amphitheatrical layout. It is also a waterfront promenade all year round, where visitors can stroll among cafés, yachts and colourful fishing boats.
The Mantinum open-air theatre has more than 600 seats and 2,000 standing places. Its 16 rows of seats face the Old Port. The Mantinum project also includes a lift intended to connect the Old Port with the citadel.
