EspañolSARTèNE
(Redirected from Sartene)
'Sartène' (Corsican: ''Sartè''), is a town and commune of Southern Corsica, in the Corse-du-Sud ''département'', in France. It's history dates back to medieval times and granite buildings from the early 16th century still line some of the streets. One of the main incidents in the town's history was an attack by pirates from Algiers in 1583, after which 400 people were taken away. These attacks continued into the 18th century.
The town is centred around the Place de la Liberation (previously the Place Porta), at the edge of which is the church of Sainte Marie. The town allows good views across the valley. Sartene wine is well known amoungst wine buffs as being a good drop.
Sartene has given its name to one of the southern-Corsican dialects that are most like the Sardinian language.
