Filitosa has been jealously guarding its statue-menhirs, its circular monuments (the "Torre") and its mysteries for 8,000 years... A real open-air museum, Filitosa preserves the traces of a very long occupation, stretching from the 6th millennium BC to the Roman occupation. In the 2nd millennium B.C., the stone cutters and megalithic sculptors made Filitosa the greatest centre of Corsican statuary art, the most prodigious in the Mediterranean.
This exceptional site, situated in the heart of a remarkable natural area, was discovered in 1946 by Charles-Antoine Cesari and excavated for 20 years by the archaeologist and CNRS researcher Roger Grosjean. Classified as a historic monument, Filitosa is on the list of one hundred historic sites of common interest to Mediterranean countries.

During our stay in Ajaccio we tried a restaurant and went back in time by visiting a prehistoric site.
