The origine of the construction of the Palace goes back to the XVth century, it was the

the city of Bastia was bombed and the building was damaged. After World War II, the
building started to host the museum of the city after light renovation, the part that had
been destroyed by the bomb was not rebuilt at that time.
The ”Palais des Gouverneurs” as symbole of power
The shape of the palace is related to its original purpose, the mansion of the Governor of
Corsica when the island was under domination from Genoa Republic (actually part of
Italy). The plan is a perfect square, a geometric shape to symbolise order and power.
The project was to recover the geometry of the original quadrilateral construction. The
vacuum left by the destruction of the northwest corner during second World War had
been completed in a contemporary style.
