SAINT-FLORENT CITADEL

SAINT-FLORENT

Built in 1439 by Janus Campofregoso, it was one of the first positions occupied by Genoa, making it one of the island's most important trading centers. The originality of the Citadel, a jewel of military architecture, is also recognized by the originality of its shape. From the time of its construction until the middle of the 20th century, the citadel was an enclosed space, surrounded by various walls and fortifications. The château de la citadelle is one of the most important elements of the citadel still visible today. In the 15th century, only the central tower, the most imposing, was built. In the following century, the half-moon and square towers were added. Various garrisons took turns inside the castle to protect the city. It was also used to store supplies. Among the surrounding buildings is the former artillery, built in the 16th century. At its center is the powder magazine, added around 1632. This was designed to limit damage in the event of an explosion of stored gunpowder. It was later converted into a prison. Most of the building was destroyed in 1943 when the German army detonated a mine. To the right of the Tourist Office, you'll find the remains of the cistern, used to store drinking water, the plans for which were drawn up in 1573. The monument's last known episode of war dates back to 1814, when local peasants occupied the citadel in protest against the French government. Listed as a historic monument since 1994, the Saint-Florent citadel is one of the highlights of our heritage. During the summer season, the Citadelle is transformed into a meeting place for concerts.
