Places to see in ( Bastia - France )
Bastia is a city on the French island of Corsica. Bars and restaurants line the Old Port, with the twin-towered Church of St. Jean-Baptiste rising behind it. Terra Nova, a centuries-old citadel with ramparts, was built by Genoese rulers. Nearby is the Cathedral of Ste. Marie, filled with paintings and marble statues. The Governor’s Palace houses the Bastia Museum, showcasing the city’s history.
Filled with heart, soul and character, the bustling old port of Bastia is a good surprise. Sure, it might not measure up to the sexy style of Ajaccio or the architectural appeal of Bonifacio, but it has an irresistible magnetism. Bastia is an authentic snapshot of modern-day Corsica, a lived-in city that’s resisted the urge to polish up its image just to please the tourists. The historical neighbourhoods of Terra Vecchia and Terra Nova are especially vibrant – allow yourself a day to take in the sights and mosey around atmospheric streets and boutiques.
Bastia is a French commune in the Haute-Corse department of France located in the north-east of the island of Corsica at the base of Cap Corse. It also has the second-highest population of any commune on the island after Ajaccio and is the capital of the Bagnaja region and of the department. Bastia is the principal port of the island and its principal commercial town and is especially famous for its wines. Approximately 10% of the population are immigrants. The unemployment rate in the commune has persistently been one of the highest in France, standing at over 20% in 2004.
Located in the North-East of Corsica at the base of the Cap Corse, between the sea and the mountain, Bastia is the principal port of the island. The city is located 35 km (22 mi) away from the northern tip of the Cap Corse, 50 km (31 mi) west from Elba, an Italian island, and 90 km (56 mi) away from continental Italy which can be seen a few days per year when visibility is excellent.

Places to see in ( Corsica - France ) Bastia
Bastia is a city on the French island of Corsica. Bars and restaurants line the Old Port, with the twin-towered Church of St. Jean-Baptiste rising behind it. Terra Nova, a centuries-old citadel with ramparts, was built by Genoese rulers. Nearby is the Cathedral of Ste. Marie, filled with paintings and marble statues. The Governor’s Palace houses the Bastia Museum, showcasing the city’s history.
Bastia is a commercial port town (the most important on Corsica) found to the north-east of the island. It is in an impressive location with the hills and Cap Corse behind the town. The town is now officially classified as a 'Town of Art and History' in France. Bastia old town is to the old town that you will be drawn with its faded charm of narrow streets and alleys, where washing still hangs drying from ancient shuttered windows in the tall, often almost crumbling, buildings, dating largely from the 18th century.
It is the character of this part of Bastia, culminating at the old port, which is the most fascinating aspect of Bastia so allow time to explore rather then rushing from 'monument to monument'. One of the main squares in the old town or the 'Terra Vecchia' is the Place du Marche which is home to a morning market and the large Saint-Jean-Baptiste church, an imposing church built in the 16th century. The interior of the church was renovated in baroque style in the 18th century. Nearby on Rue Napoleon is the Oratoire St Roch with a great Baroque interior and also the Oratoire de l'Immaculée Conception which has a particularly sumptuous interior including crystal chandeliers.
Continue walking and at the other side of the Saint Jean Baptiste chuch is the charming port where the rather neglected buildings surround the harbour full of boats ranging from small fishing vessels to gleaming pleasure boats. There are two ports in Bastia - the original traditional one, and the more recent port where Corsica Ferries arrive with passengers from Italy and France (Nice is the most common departure point from mainland France to reach Bastia). The old harbour is the 'in' place to spend your evenings in Bastia, in the many bars and restaurants, or simply promenading along the water front - be sure to walk out along the Quai des Martyrs de la Liberation for the best views of the harbour.
Dominating the old harbour is the view of the Church of Saint John the Baptist. The other buildings are painted in beautiful shades of ochre, salmon and shades of gold. Sadly nearly all need a coat of paint and you have the feeling that if this was done the harbour would change from attractive to really quite stunning. The other main part of Bastia to explore is on the other side of the old harbour around the substantial citadel. This part of the town is much trendier if slightly less impressive than its old town neighbour. The walk to the citadel passes through the gardens (le Jardin Romieu) and passed the once-very-posh houses of the Terra Nova district.
The main 'notable' buildings within the citadel of Bastia are the grand 14th century Governor's Palace and a couple of churches: the church of Sainte-Marie de l'Assomption and the Baroque Oratoire-Sainte-Croix with its 'black Christ'. The palace of the Governors was attacked and destroyed by Nelson in 1794 and rebuilt by the French when it was used as a prison. The Nazi's used the dungeons to imprison and torture Resistance fighters during the Second World War. It has now been renovated and is home to the Municipal Museum with exhibits including the history of Bastia and Corsica from its pre-Roman origins to its role in the second world war.
Venture a little further north to see Place Saint Nicholas (the large square behind the new port and one of the largest open squares to be found in France). While you are here you can pop into the Mattei shop to pickup a few local delicacies, and to see how shopping in the town was 100 years ago. The shop might not have changed much, the prices unfortunately have. There is a small pebble beach in Bastia, but the long sandy beaches slightly south of the town are worth making the effort to get to instead to avoid the over-crowding.

科西嘉島卡爾維市（Calvi）&巴斯蒂亞 Bastia
科西嘉島點樣風光如畫，四季如春， 被譽為「美之島」 。島上約 22萬人口大多居住在 Ajaccio阿雅克修及巴斯蒂亞 Bastia，其他地方就真正屬於大自然，或者這樣才算得上是真正度假的勝地。
科西嘉島有兩個特色，其中之一就係差唔多半個島都生長著松樹、橡樹、栗子及沙灘樹，再配上好像只得這裡才可見到碧藍色海水，似乎亦只有這裡影下的每一幅相都會成為經典 Post Card。
法國科西嘉島，卡爾維市（Calvi）。科西嘉島位于法國東南部的地中海上，以其獨特的海上山脈，湍急的水流，為世人展現出了一系列世上難得一見的美麗景象。南部長長的白色沙灘，在此駐足的游客會驚喜地發現這里還有著眾多世界聞名的文化遺產。也正是這個原因使得到此漫步的人絡繹不絕。卡爾維（Calvi）位于科西嘉島的西北方，這里傳統依舊，宗教建築別具一格。
巴斯蒂亞是一座商業城市, 1975 年成為上科西嘉省(Corse)的省會,至今仍保留著地中海式的風情。它的歷史性建築、開滿各色鮮花的陽台、古老的街道、涂漆的百葉窗以及高聳的房屋都絕對值得前去遊覽觀光。 城市按其古老的港口依次分為兩個部分:北部下游地區為 Terra-Vecchia 市;南部上游地區為 Terra-Nova 市。晚上,燈光璀璨,老港口、羅密歐(Romieu)花園、市中心和 St-Jean-Baptiste 都是遊客信步閒逛的好去處。
