Notes d'un voyage en Corse

An inspector of historical monuments presents a systematic survey of Corsican remains, organizing buildings and ruins by presumed epochs while noting frequent uncertainties in attribution. The text opens with a compact historical overview of successive populations and external influences, then describes pre-Roman vestiges, possible Greek and Etruscan traces, a modest Roman presence, and numerous medieval churches, fortifications, and communal structures. Attention is paid to characteristic architectural forms, states of decay, and the scarcity of documentary evidence, and the account closes with practical observations and occasional recommendations for targeted excavations and further study.
