Why go
Terra Nova's walls enclose lanes, the governors' palace, and sea-facing terraces above the port. The district shows how Genoese civic and military power reshaped Bastia. Those details are the reason to slow down at Bastia Citadel. Terrain near Bastia Citadel adds context that a roadside glance would otherwise miss.
