There are old palaces of grand beauty, churches, picture galleries and the marvellous bay of Purità’s beach. Its crystal-clear water and seabed teeming with fishes is a magic and fascinating place from which you can watch beautiful sunsets and the nearby island o St. Andrea where nests the rare Corsican gull.

There is a strong feeling to be in the middle Mediterranean, between different and fascinating cultures. The town structure is very similar to that of several Arab towns and the features of buildings, mostly white and with internal courtyards, recalls the Greek islands. The monumental walls enclosing the town centre from the sea until the “Angioino” castle maintain the aspect of a defensive structure which evokes battles and history of heroism, firmness and resistance.

Many restaurants, bars and pubs gladden the stay of tourists with the offer of typical dishes of fish, local sweets of old and exclusive tradition. There are also workshops of papier mâché which exhibit precious statues of sacred inspiration as well as various other objects.
