Porte Genoise is one of the remains of the citadel that used to guard Porto Vecchio.
Walk through the gate to see a beautiful view of the marina.
Eglise de Saint Jean Baptiste was consecrated in 1868 even though the facade was not completed. What's interesting about this church is that it was inverted when it was built. The entrance is traditionally in the east but this one is in the west.
The interior has stained glass from 1960 and an organ from 1990.
It's fun to just wander around the old town.
Corsica is known for fine cutlery and we found some beautiful knives at Du Bastion. We ordered some goat-horn handled knives and had it shipped home.
There are many places to eat in town. The paella weren't quite ready when we toured in the morning.
