Visit Ajaccio's 16th-century cathedral dedicated to La Madonuccia, the city's patron saint who is thought to have protected the residents from the Black Plague. Enjoy a rest in the Place Foch, the city's finest square. Lined with palm trees, it features a statue of Napoleon atop a fountain facing the Gulf of Ajaccio. Stroll through Musée Fesch, the city's finest art museum, which happens to be the former residence of Napoleon's uncle. Many of the paintings were presented to Joseph Fesch by his nephew Napoleon.
