The history of Portivechju in pictures

It is said that walls have ears. The walls of Portivechju, in any case, have things to say. Day or night, get ready for a guided tour unlike any other. Follow the guide, her name is Nela.

This adopted Corsican, who is in love with the Citadel, knows every nook and cranny of it. By day, she recounts the Genoese invasion. At night, armed with her projector, she brings the walls to life. The old photographs she projects onto the stones tell the story of Portivechju better than anyone else.

And to think that back then, the town’s economy relied on its own resources: salt, cork, silk…

Thanks to these precious images, you are transported back to the days of the shepherds of Porto-Vecchio, to a pastoral way of life shaped by the seasonal migration of flocks, the harvests and the climate…

Have a good trip.

We like

Nela’s lively and passionate storytelling.

Archival images projected onto stone, creating a striking immersive experience.

The night-time tour: magical and full of mystery.

Good to know

The evening tour takes place outdoors: please make sure you wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jumper depending on the temperature.

As places are limited, we recommend booking in advance with the Port-de-Vie Tourist Office, particularly during the summer months.
