Named in honour of the famous Corsican singer, the Tino Rossi harbour helps shape the well-known face of Ajaccio.

Founded by Cardinal Joseph Fesch, maternal uncle of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Fesch Museum houses an impressive collection of paintings – mainly Italian – from the 14th to the 18th century, with works by masters such as Botticelli, Titian and Veronese.
