Sant'Antonino, Medieval village in Balagne, Corsica, France.
Sant'Antonino rises 500 meters above sea level on a granite peak, with 75 stone houses forming a circular pattern around the mountain.
The village traces its origins to the 9th century when a defense tower was constructed on the granite peak by Count Ugo Colonna.
The village maintains traditional Corsican architecture with its narrow streets, covered passages, and houses built directly into the surrounding rock formations.
Visitors need to park their vehicles at the entrance and explore the village on foot, with electric car charging stations available in the church square.
The village features ancient bread ovens and a wine press carved into rock, reflecting centuries of local agricultural practices.

In France, each region hides villages that seem out of time. These places are made of stone, wood, and light, where history is written on facades and in paved streets. Some are nestled in valleys, others cling to cliffs or overlook vineyards. There are old houses, squares lined with arcades, castles, Romanesque churches, and sometimes a river winding between gardens. These villages have retained the charm of their era, the slow pace of residents, and the sound of wind in shutters. From Breton granite to Alsatian half-timbered houses, from southern golden limestone to Alpine shingle roofs, each tells a way of life, a color, an accent. They form the deep face of the country, one that is only visible when taking the time to stop.
