En un regard
Le château en bref
The Fort de Vizzavona, known as the Fort du Comte de Vaux, takes its name from the Count of Vaux (1705-1783), who commanded the French military forces in Corsica after the Treaty of Versailles of 1768 and the French defeats against the troops of Pasquale Paoli. Built in 1772, about three years after the disaster of Ponte-Novu, it occupies a strategic position controlling the route between northern and southern Corsica, on the heights of the Col de Vizzavona. Owned by the State, its ruins, easily reached from the national road, have been protected as historic monuments by decree of 4 August 1992.
