Romieu Garden - Giardinu Romieu : info and guided tour

Presentation of Jardin Romieu – Giardinu Romieu

Jardin Romieu, also called Giardinu Romieu in Corsican, is a terraced garden located in Bastia, at the foot of the citadel and below the old district of the Vieux Port. This landscaped space connects the upper town to the seafront and offers a shaded walk in the heart of one of the city’s most picturesque areas.

The site is distinguished by its layout of stairways, paths, and landings that follow the slope of the terrain. Lined with Mediterranean vegetation, it combines pedestrian circulation with viewpoints over the harbor and Bastia’s façades. Its design highlights both the site’s topography and the surrounding urban landscape.

The garden is especially appreciated for its peaceful setting, its location between historical heritage and the sea, and for the transition it creates between the citadel and the streets of the old town center. It is an emblematic stop for understanding Bastia’s vertical layout and enjoying an original panorama over the city.
