Corte

The arrondissement of Corte spans across 2,853 square kilometers in the northern region of Corsica, encompassing 158 communes within the Haute-Corse department.

Following the French Revolution, Corte became part of the department Golo in 1800 before transitioning to Haute-Corse in 1976, marking significant administrative changes.

The University of Corsica Pascal Paoli, established in 1765 in Corte, functions as a center for Mediterranean studies and maintains regional educational traditions.

Corte connects to major Corsican destinations through the D69 highway system, with Bastia Airport located 80 kilometers from the administrative center.

In 2010, Corte expanded its jurisdiction by incorporating four additional cantons from the arrondissement of Bastia, including Alto-di-Casaconi and Vescovato.
