Bastia History
Bastia is a city located in the northeastern part of Corsica, France. The city has a rich history that dates back to the Roman era, when it was known as Mantinum. Over the centuries, Bastia has been shaped by various civilizations and influences, including the Genoese, French, and Italian cultures.
In the 14th century, the Genoese Republic took control of Corsica and made Bastia its capital. The city quickly grew in importance and became a major commercial center, with a thriving port that served as a gateway to the Mediterranean. During this period, Bastia was heavily fortified with walls, towers, and gates, many of which still exist today and can be visited by tourists.
