Filitosa

|
On the Corsica driving tour, after passing Propiano, the road runs north via Olmeto to Filitosa. The prehistoric settlement of Filitosa, on a projecting crag above the Taravo valley, is a sight not to be missed, with its remains of the 3,500-year-old Torre culture (which displaced a megalithic pastoral culture around 3500 B.C.). The visible remains include groups of standing stones, the foundations of village houses and various tower-like cult buildings and fortifications.
Other sites with remains of the earliest Corsican culture are Cauria and Fontanaccia, which lie between Bonifacio and Sartène, to the east of N196. The coast road now runs round the Gulf of Ajaccio.
