Historique
Le château est constitué par deux demeures du 16e siècle, remaniées au 18e, qui appartenait, à l'origine, à la famille seigneuriale Campocasso et au procureur royal Pie Casale. Ils furent reliés au 19e siècle par une tour de briques rouges construite par l'architecte Visconti. Le maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny y installa son quartier général en 1943 lors de la libération de la Corse.£

History
The castle is constituted by two dwellings of the 16th century, altered in the 18th, which originally belonged to the seigniorial family Campocasso and to the royal procurator Pie Casale. They were connected in the 19th century by a tower of red bricks constructed by the architect Visconti. Marshal de Lattre de Tassigny established his general headquarters there in 1943 during the liberation of Corsica.
