Description
This is what you see when you get off the ferry that brings you to Calvi, Corsica. Calvi is a city on the French island of Corsica and the biggest tourist centre of the island. Because of Corsica's strategic location, Calvi has a rich history. The earliest found remains of settlers in Calvi date back to the Neolithic period, in one of its many caves.
The first real recorded history of the settling of Calvi was around 1000BC, when the Romans brought agriculture to the land. Since then, Calvi has been invaded many times, giving rise to the popular saying often conquered, never enslaved. Until 1729, Calvi was part of the Genoese empire, leading to the legend that Christopher Columbus supposedly came from there.
Proceeds from the sale of this photograph goes to help orphaned and abandoned children in Colombia South America.
