Ajaccio, Prefecture and capital city in Corsica, France

The city stretches along the northern shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio, surrounded by green hills and protected by a 16th-century citadel.

Napoleon Bonaparte was born in this Mediterranean port city in 1769, marking a significant moment that influenced its development and identity.

The Musée Fesch contains Italy's largest collection of paintings outside the Vatican, including works from Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Titian.

The Place Foch market operates every morning, offering local products such as cheese, charcuterie, wine, and fresh produce from Corsican farms.

The Maison Bonaparte, preserved as a national museum, displays the original furniture and personal items from Napoleon's childhood residence.
