FRANCE - Corsica
Ajaccio
Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica and occupies a sheltered position at the foot of wooded hills on the western coast of the island and includes the îles Sanguinaires (Bloody Islands).The original city went into decline in the Middle Ages, but began to prosper again after the Genoese built a citadel in 1492 to the south of the earlier settlement. After the Corsican Republic was declared in 1755 the Genoese continued to hold several citadels, including Ajaccio, until the French took control of the island.
The upmost famous citizen of Ajaccio is Napoleon Bonaparte (born in 1769) who became a famous french emperor.
