When nature adorns itself with its most beautiful assets, astonishing rocks with original shapes offer breathtaking panoramas. In fact, halfway between Sartène and Bonifacio a lovely surprise awaits you! First of all, the legendary, famous and emblematic Lion of Roccapina rock emerges from the Corsican mountains, a place steeped in history.
Protecting the site, it has lain naturally for millennia and keeps watch over the horizon as well as any possible invasions that might have emerged from the sea! Right next to it is its Genoese tower, an edifice built on a rocky spur to defend against barbarian attacks. This sculpted animal is none other than the result of erosion between the sun crystallising the salt, the wind carrying the sea spray and the rain. This phenomenon is called “I taffoni“.
