Corsica is famous for its natural attractions. The valley of Calanche de Piana is of great interest. Here, travelers can admire the beautiful granite rocks with red peaks. Some of them have a very unusual shape, so you can barely belief this shape is of natural origin. The height of some rocky peaks is 300 meters. According to geologists, this valley was formed over millions of years ago under the influence of wind and water. It is most interesting to admire the rocks at dusk or at dawn, when their peaks have a bright scarlet color.
In the southern part of the island there is a megalithic field of Filitis. Large-scale studies of this region began relatively recently, in 1946. Today, this amazing valley with unusual stone formations is considered the most important archaeological area. Here, many unique artifacts have been discovered, including fragments of ancient ceramic products, arrowheads, and other interesting evidence of life in these places, which are more than 5,000 years old.
Historical sights of a later period can be seen in the Erbalung district. Here you can see the ruins of an ancient castle, from which only one tower has survived to this day. Not far from it is the Chapel of St. Michael, which was built in the 11th century. The miniature ancient town is famous for its religious monuments. The beautiful Church of St. Catherine, which has remained practically unchanged since the 15th century, has been preserved.
