The Castagniccia is a huge unspoiled landscape of chestnut groves away from the hustle and bustle of Corsica's tourist industry. The region houses the Corsican Natural Park, with miles of walking tracks. It is famous for its churches and is the historic heart of Corsica. The region includes remarkable sites such as Orezza and Piedicroce. Three kilometers from Castineta is the village of Morosaglia, the birthplace of Pascal Paoli, the father of Corsican independence in the 18th century. His house has become a museum. Corte and its inland citadel which houses the Museum of Corsica is 35 km away. The Castagniccia is also the home of the famous Corsican sausage!
