EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Tower of the Genoese Governors Palace, nestled within the Citadel in Bastia, Corsica. Standing tall and proud, this tower is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels that can be found on this enchanting island. Corsica was once a territory of the esteemed city-state of Genoa until 1768 when it was ceded to France as payment for a debt. The Tower of the Genoese Governors Palace served as a symbol of power and authority during those times. It stood as an imposing structure overlooking Bastia, which was Corsica's capital until 1791. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in this photograph highlight both French and Italian influences on Corsican architecture. The bell tower with its ornate clock adds charm to this historical gem. The vibrant colors captured in this image bring out the essence of Corsican culture and its unique identity. Photographer Peter Thompson skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of timelessness through his lens. This print serves as a reminder that heritage sites like these are invaluable treasures that connect us to our past.
