The Museums of Haute-Corse

Haute-Corse is the wild and proud soul of the island, between steep mountains and hilltop villages. Here, every stone tells a story, every path leads to a legend. From Genoese citadels to the lively squares of Bastia or Corte, this land has seen heroes born, ancient songs echo, and struggles for independence unfold. The museums of Haute-Corse are the guardians of this memory. Through art, pastoral traditions, rural life, and the fight for Corsican identity, they reveal a living, rich, and authentic heritage.

 

Ready to explore this hidden treasure? Follow us, from the mountains of Niolu to the shores of Balagne, to discover the museums that tell the story of Haute-Corse.
