Musée de l'Alta Rocca - Museu di l'Alta Rocca
About This Museum
People come here to get to the very heart of Corsica, long before the tourist beaches existed. You're not just looking at old pots; you're meeting the 'Lady of Bonifacio,' a skeleton over 8,000 years old who tells a silent story of the island's first settlers. The museum winds you through time, from prehistoric tools to medieval pottery, all discovered right in this rugged Alta Rocca region. It feels less like a sterile gallery and more like a key that unlocks the secrets of the surrounding mountains and villages.
Collection Highlights
The star is undoubtedly the 'Lady of Bonifacio,' one of the oldest human remains found on the island. Beyond her, you'll find fascinating menhirs (standing stones) with mysterious carvings and a collection of artifacts from daily Roman life that make ancient history feel surprisingly immediate.
Visitor Information
It's tucked away in the village of Levie, which is a bit off the beaten path but absolutely worth the scenic drive. Just head for Quartier Pratu – you can't miss it. The vibe is quiet and unpretentious, perfect for taking your time to really absorb everything.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a simple, traditional stone building that blends right into the village, it feels authentically Corsican rather than trying to be a flashy modern monument.
