Saint-Florent
Le Port de Saint-Florent
[Ph. Desjobert ]
At the foot of the Cap Corse
The Sailing Harbor of Saint-Florent is nestling
at the foot of the Cap Corse, at the end of a Gulf which wear its name,
lined-up at the west by the Desert of the Agriates, at Bastia level, the
Capital of the North.
An Evocation of Saint-Florent ...
In 1440, the Genoeses built
on this site a citadel which remained, until the 18th century the siege
of the bishop of the Nebbio and the governor
palace. Despite the ravages caused by the malaria, this place was hotly
contested at the 16th century by the French, the Genoeses, and of course,
by the Corsican.
The town finds a new expansion again, after Napoleon III had ordered
the draining of the marshes, attacking then to the sources of the paludism.
