Visit Popolasca
Popolasca is a village of central Corsica, north of Corte (and south of Moltifao).
This very small village is in a stunning setting in the mountains within the Corsica Natural Park, and is best known for being in the shadow of the 'aiguilles de Popolasca'
The village itself, with houses running up the steep slope to the church that stands at the top of Popolasca. The Church of Saint-Dominique is in the baroque style, and has a tall belltower, with several brightly painted statues in the small interior. The ruins of the Chapel of Saint-Jean can also be seen at he northern edge of Popolasca.
Popolasca has the aiguilles (needles) as an imposing backdrop, with cliffs and needles of bare rock face reaching an altitude of over 2100 metres just behind the village. Below the village the landscape is forested and less foreboding!
The 'aiguilles de Popolasca' are popular with hikers in the region, and a couple of trails to explore the landscape start from in and near the village.
