Beautiful panoramic view from Fortin de Pasciola. Accessible via a hiking trail on the right behind the Vivario train station (sign towards Vivario, later the path to Fortin and Vivario forks).

Pasciola, the fortified tower of Vivariu, was built in 1771 to ensure travel safety and communication between detachments of the French royal forces. It housed a garrison of about fifty men, as well as artillery.

From 1803 to 1811, General Joseph Morand, appointed by Napoleon to administer Corsica, used the structure as a prison, where insurgents, royalists, and Corsican bandits were imprisoned and sometimes tortured. A local curse: "Che tu sia chjusu in Pasciola!" - That you are imprisoned in Pasciola! - illustrates the abuses perpetrated there during this dark period.
