Archaeological finds, such as the Lady of Bonifacio, prove that the area was inhabited in prehistoric times. It was officially founded in 828 by the Tuscan Count Bonifacio II. In 1187, the Genoese managed to take the city by ruse, bringing with them their Ligurian language, which is still spoken today. Apart from an interruption in the years from 1553 to 1559 (Sampiero Corso), Bonifacio remained in Genoese hands until 1768. Bonifacio has been under French rule since 1768. In 1793, Napoleon prepared the failed invasion of Sardinia here. During the Second World War, Bonifacio, like all of Corsica, was occupied by German and Italian troops in 1942.

Bonifacio is the southernmost municipality of the Corse-du-Sud department and the island of Corsica. The town is divided into two areas: the medieval old town called the Ville haute (upper town) and the marina in the port area. The Ville haute lies on a 900-meter-long, narrow limestone and sandstone peninsula running parallel to the coast, the Île de Fazio, which on its seaward side drops practically vertically into the sea from an average height of 70 meters. On the landward side of the peninsula, a fjord-like bay (French: Calanque) is cut into the limestone, forming a well-protected natural harbor. There, the limestone plateau slopes less steeply towards the water. The natural harbor also serves as a fishing and yacht harbor. Bonifacio is also a center for commercial shipping and ferry traffic with the neighboring island of Sardinia, as well as tourism, especially in the summer months.

If the visibility is good you can see Santa Theresa and Capo Testa in Sardinia.

I felt the same way!
