Algajola, Haute-Corse, Corse

Château d'Algajola stands in Algajola (Haute-Corse), in the Corse region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Overlooking the village of Algajola in the Balagne region, this Genoese fortified castle dates from the early 16th century, built shortly before 1531 to house the lieutenant of the Office of Saint-Georges who administered the province at the time. Sacked by pirates in 1643, it was rebuilt starting in 1664 and belongs to the chain of coastal fortifications erected by Genoa in Corsica. Visitors come for its defensive architecture and its place in the history of Genoese rule over the island.
