History
House dated to the 15th century by an inscription (1487) which is said to have belonged to Anton Padovano da Pozzo, ambassador to the King of France, then to the Ferdinandi family. House of rectangular plan with slate construction and covered with a double-sloped roof in slate tiles, an extremely rare example of Medieval Corsican civil architecture. It is further distinguished by a state of preservation which allows most of its original arrangements to be read.
