Details About Bonifacio

Destinations » Mediterranean » Mediterranean - Western » Bonifacio


With its spectacular cliff-top setting, this ancient Corsican fortress-town has withstood many sieges. The 15th century steps, cut high in the rock face, are evidence of its troubled history. Today, medieval buildings crown the slopes leading to the fortress which overlooks the beautiful, multi-colored sea below.
