Visit Ersa

Ersa is a group of villages and hamlets and a port at the northern point of Cap Corse, itself the northernmost peninsula in Corsica.

To the north the region is coastal while heading south, Ersa runs into the start of the mountains that run down the centre of Cap Corse.

The villages here include Botticella, Cocinco and Poggio, while the main port is at Barcaggio, to the north of the commune. Another small marina is found at Tollare, a little west of Barcaggio.

Many of the villages have their own churches, with the ruined Church of Saint-Andrea at Granaggiolo and the convent at Botticella (now the town hall) being among the most important.

The island of Giraglia is a protected nature reserve just off the coast from Barcaggio, which also has an 18th century lighthouse and a 17th century Genoese tower.
