Capital of Upper Corsica and the island's largest port, Bastia faces the Italian coast across the Tyrrhenian Sea. About 41,000 people live in a city built around a Genoese citadel, known as Terra Nova, that rises above the old harbour of Terra Vecchia. The Genoese governed Corsica from here for five centuries until 1768.
The Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, with its twin bell towers, dominates the old port. The Governors' Palace within the citadel houses the Musee de Bastia documenting the city's Genoese and French history. The Place Saint-Nicolas, a long tree-lined square along the waterfront, faces the sea and hosts a daily morning market.
Cap Corse, a mountainous peninsula stretching forty kilometres north, begins at the edge of the city and offers coastal towers, fishing villages, and vineyards producing Muscat and Patrimonio wines.
