Sartène, Administrative division in Corsica, France
Description
Sartène is a subprefecture in southern Corsica with an administrative area encompassing several villages. The territory comprises various communes and unites a diverse Mediterranean landscape spanning coastal zones and mountainous interior.
History
The area received its administrative status in 1800 and subsequently underwent several reorganizations under different department structures. Its present form in southern Corsica was shaped by these administrative changes across two centuries.
Culture
The town of Sartène shapes the area with its substantial granite buildings from the 16th century, which still define the streetscape today. These sturdy structures reflect traditional Corsican construction methods and give the place its characteristic, fortified appearance.
Practical
The area sits in a region with moderate population density and offers visitors straightforward access to routes across various communes. Most sites are reachable by car, though the winding Corsican roads require driving that takes some extra time.
Did you know?
The area underwent a significant boundary change in 2017 when one of its communes transferred to a neighboring administrative division. This relatively recent administrative shift shows how Corsican administrative structures continue to evolve even in modern times.
