Tourist attractions in Calvi
Calvi is a busy seaside resort. At the extreme limit of the town, the citadel quarter which is perched on a rock is really nice. Its paved roads are imagesque and the view over the bay from its ramparts is fantastic. The Saint-Antoine oratory, the "Poudrière ", the Sampierro barracks and Christopher Columbus house are really worth a visit. Notre Dame de la Serra just after leaving Calvi (on the road to Porto) offers a picture postcard view of the gulf of Calvi.
