Origin and history

The archaeological site of Castiglione, located in the commune of Grosseto-Prugna, constitutes a historical vestige whose precise origins are not documented in the available sources. Its existence attests to an ancient human occupation in this region of Corsica, although details of its foundation or use remain unknown. Archaeological sites of this type in Corsica often reflect settlement dynamics linked to Mediterranean exchanges or local social structures.

In Grosseto-Prugna, as elsewhere on the island, these monuments could play a central role in the territorial organization, whether defensive, religious or economic. Their study provides a better understanding of the lifestyles of past populations, in an environment marked by varied cultural influences.
