Visit Morosaglia
Morosaglia is a village in the heart of the Castagniccia region of eastern Corsica - or rather a cluster of small hamlets and villages spread across the hillside form Morosaglia, including Cunvento, Terchini, Sevasi and Ponte Lecchia among others.
Even among the villages of the region, Morosaglia stands out for its scenic position and view across the surrounding forested mountains.
The village is best known as being the birthplace of Pascal Paoli (1725), who was later to become leader of the Corsican struggle for independence against the Genoese. His place of birth is now a museum containing various memorabilia commemorating his life and achievements, and there is also a statue of Paoli in Morosaglia.
Paoli was baptised in the Church of Santa Reparata a little way up the hill above the village.
