Visit La Porta
The village of La Porta is situated in the mountainous Castagniccia region of eastern Corsica, and is one of several traditional villages in great locations overlooking the forests and mountains.
Nestling in the chestnut forests below Monte San Petrone, La Porta was at one time the regional capital of Castagniccia.
The main monument in La Porta is the Church of Saint John the Baptist (early 18th century), a very impressive baroque style church with a decorative facade and an ornate 40m tall belltower that dominates both the church and the village of La Porta. The exuberant style continues inside the church, which features colourful wall paintings and furnishings.
The nearby hamlets of Ficaja and Querticello also deserve a stroll while you are in La Porta, to enjoy more of the traditional stone houses and lovely views of the area.
