Bastia museum, Historical museum in Citadel of Bastia, France
The Bastia Museum occupies a former governors' palace within the citadel walls, featuring exhibits about local history, maritime heritage, and regional development through time.
The museum building, dating from the 14th century, served as the residence of Genoese governors and underwent reconstruction after sustaining damage during the 1943 liberation of Corsica.
The museum collection includes four main sections highlighting urban growth, power centers, cultural heritage, and the evolution of the Governor's Palace through artifacts.
Visitors can access the museum from May through September between 10:00 AM and 6:30 PM, with modified hours during winter and closures on specific holidays.
The courtyard displays the preserved turret of the submarine Casabianca, representing the maritime connections between Bastia and Mediterranean naval operations.
