The Romieu garden

Overlooking the quays, the Romieu garden was designed in the second half of the 19th century by Bastia architect Paul-Augustin Viale. From its belvedere, the Romieu staircase winds its way between the standing vases, statues, fountain and long wrought-iron railings that trace a bucolic passageway under the trees with a view of the sea. It's an ideal spot for a leafy break from the incessant ballet of ships.
