L'escalier Romieu

Credits

Depuis le jardin on accède dans le monumental escalier Romieu, qui constitue le plus bel ornement du quai Sud du Vieux Port. Il fut aménagé selon les plans de l'architecte bastiais Paul-Augustin Viale entre 1871 et 1873. Cet escalier aux courbes harmonieuses, agrémenté de vases sur piédestaux, d'une borne fontaine, d'une niche à statue et d'élégantes rampes de fer forgé, met en communication directe le quartier de la citadelle avec le nouveau quai.


The Romieu staircase

From the garden you can access the monumental Romieu staircase, which is the most beautiful ornament of the South quay of the Old Port. It was designed by the Bastia architect Paul-Augustin Viale between 1871 and 1873. This staircase with its harmonious curves, decorated with vases on pedestals, a fountain, a statue niche and elegant wrought iron railings, puts the citadel district in direct communication with the new quay.
