Rock Art in Corsica:Corse-nord (2B)

Only one rock painting in Corsica. Long have been believed to be lost. But Séverine Leconte-Tusoli & Leria Franceschini (2006) "Guide archéologique de la Corse" ISBN:2846981604 and the site of Olmeta-di-Capocorso commune show recent colour images of it.

From the point of the mountain path between Nonza and Olemta-di-Capocorse crossing across the valleys, climb the steep slope towards Monte Stavu. Although marked on IGN 4347-OT map as 'Grotta della Susini', it might be impossible to get there without the help of local guide.

NOTE : According to Lecontte-Tusoli & Franceschini, there is a meadow and terrace just below the cave (=grotta). The positional information is for the possible point found on Google satellite map. They also introduce another cave with carvings nearby.
