Bearing witness to the city’s Ligurian origins, the historical centre of Carloforte, enclosed in the upper area inside the defence walls, also features the stunning XVIII and XIX-century buildings – built when the town expanded beyond the walls – and the Battellieri seafront.
Carloforte was established in 1738, as a built-up area inside a Castle, with a curtain wall, interspersed with six defence bastions.
