Visit Moltifao
Moltifao is a village in central Corsica, about 20 km north of Corte.
In an attractive setting surrounded by mountains, Moltifao is spread along a rocky crest from where its traditional streets spread down the hillside, with great views in all directions across the Asco valley and mountains.
It is the 15th century Church of the Annunciation - or rather its grand 18th century clocktower - that dominates this small village. Inside the church there are several important paintings, most dating from the 18th century.
Head down to the River Asco to see two very old stone bridges in a picturesque setting, and perhaps have a picnic and explore along the Asco gorges, before leaving Moltifao, heading next to the nearby village of Castifao which also merits exploring while you are here.
Note: a rare tortoise called Hermann's Tortoise is found in Corsica, and there is a tortoise park in Moltifao that is dedciated to protecting the species from extinction and is open to the public. Visitors can see both Hermanns Tortoises and other tortoises and turtles from around the world.
