A real open-air museum
For 8,000 years, Filitosa has jealously guarded its menhir statues, its circular monuments (the “Torre”) and its mysteries...
Filitosa preserves the traces of a very long occupation, stretching from the 6th millennium BC to the Roman occupation.
In the 2nd millennium BC, stonemasons and megalithic carvers made Filitosa the largest centre of Corsican statuary art, the most prodigious in the Mediterranean.
This exceptional site, located in the heart of a remarkable natural space, was discovered in 1946 by Charles-Antoine Cesari and excavated for 20 years by the archaeologist and researcher at the CNRS, Roger Grosjean.
Classified as a Historic Monument, Filitosa is on the list of 100 historic sites of mutual interest to Mediterranean countries.
