Musée De La Résistance
About This Museum
Tucked away in the Alta Rocca region of southern Corsica, not far from the winding D268, this museum holds the quiet, determined stories of the local maquisards. It feels more like stepping into a community's private memory than a formal institution. You'll find handwritten letters next to smuggled weapons, each object telling a fragment of the fierce resistance that took root in these rugged mountains. The air itself seems thick with the weight of courage and sacrifice.
Collection Highlights
Personal artifacts from Corsican resisters take center stage—think worn leather satchels used for carrying messages and faded photographs of young fighters. One corner is dedicated to the clandestine press, with an original printing press that produced anti-Nazi leaflets under cover of darkness.
Visitor Information
It's a small place, so you won't need more than an hour or so. Do check opening times in advance as they can be seasonal; it's the kind of spot run with passion, not a large staff.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a simple, unassuming stone building that blends seamlessly into the village, it feels as though it has always been part of Zonza's landscape.
