CALVI MUNICIPALITY

Calvi is a small town and commune of the Haute-Corse county, in France with 5420 inhabitants. It is located on the northwest coast of the island of Corsica, 95 km from Bastia and 24 km from L'Île-Rousse. Nestled on the island of Corsica, west of Italy and south of France, the port town of Calvi boasts the intrigue of traditional Corsican culture while effortlessly maintaining the comforts of a modern resort area. Picturesque views of nature’s scenic beauty are seemingly everywhere you turn.
The Citadel is the main part of town. It was a military outpost in the 15th century that helped guard the city against international attacks. It sits high above the port, towering over the sea. There are many brick walls, tunnels, and long, winding stairways in this area, as well as plenty of narrow walkways tucked between quaint old houses.
