The history of Saleccia Park<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The site of Saleccia is actually an ancient olive grove cultivated since Neolithic times<\/strong>. You can still discover many traces of its occupation over the centuries: citrus gardens, cereal terraces, hay hut, threshing floor, ponds and drinking troughs bear witness to a rich agricultural past which enabled farmers to create a essential economic resource for the region and its gastronomy<\/a>. The park was part of the dowry of one of the sisters of the famous Pascal Paoli, a figure of the Corsican resistance.<\/p>\n

It was the Acquaviva family who owned the property in 1974, then occupied by 1200 olive trees. But, a major fire ravaged the park and most of the olive trees burned (only a dozen could be saved). The son-in-law of the Acquaviva family then worked to clean up and rehabilitate the site following this tragic event. Thanks to his great knowledge as a nurseryman and landscaper, he manages to constitute a real botanical collection<\/strong>, composed mainly of plants typical of Corsica and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

This site, then completely wild, is particularly vulnerable to climatic disasters and the question of how to protect it inevitably arises. But, it is also a question of protecting it against real estate pressure and thus allowing it to continue as such. It was then that the idea of opening it to visitors arose, but for that, extensive development work had to be carried out. After 8 years of hard work, Parc de Saleccia and its 7 hectares of trees<\/strong> are ready to welcome visitors in June 2005.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
