About the location

Site protégé de la Pietra – L'Ile-Rousse
Chemin du Phare 20220 L'Île-Rousse
  • Haute-Corse
  • Corse
In the immediate vicinity of the port of Ile Rousse, the islands of Pietra are an emblematic and picturesque landscape of Corsica. Their cut-out silhouettes, almost entirely red on the intense blue of the sea, carrying at the top a lighthouse all white give it an undeniable aesthetic dimension. The construction of the lighthouse of Pietra responds to a need for signage of the port, in the middle of the nineteenth century while trade is growing, under the impulse of the French administration... Inside the lighthouse, you can discover a museum space composed of three interpretation rooms that testify to the history of the island of Pietra and the lighthouse.

Access
From the Pietra car park to the lighthouse (10 minutes walk). The old access road to the lighthouse allows access on foot, which is a nice walk offering a beautiful panorama of the coast, the city of Ile Rousse and the sea. The islets are not accessible to the walker.
