Geocache Description:

Le barrage de Coti-Chiavari au nord du pénitencier

En 1870, les détenus ont construit un petit barrage retenant 24000 m3 d’eau. Certaines années, 800 prisonniers s’entassaient dans le pénitencier. Il a fermé ses portes en 1906. Il existait aussi un pénitencier des femmes dont on peut apercevoir quelques vestiges de pierres, ici et là sur le sentier de randonnée, mais dont il ne reste plus grand-chose.
Le pénitencier de Chiavari est un site pittoresque, chargé d’un passé incontestablement dur et dont on ne peut imaginer l’histoire. Ce pénitencier a été fondé en 1855. Ses ruines sont situées à mi-chemin entre Verghia et Coti-Chiavari, à 30 km au Sud d’Ajaccio, sur un grand plateau d’où l’on peut profiter d’une vue imprenable sur le golfe.

In 1870, inmates built a small dam retaining 24,000 m3 of water. Some years, 800 inmates were crowded into the penitentiary. It closed its doors in 1906. There was also a prison for women which you can see some remnants of stones here and there on the trail, but there remains much.
Penitentiary Chiavari is a picturesque site, responsible for a past which undeniably hard and can not imagine the story. This institution was founded in 1855. Its ruins are located midway between Verghia and Coti-Chiavari, 30 km south of Ajaccio, on a large platter where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Gulf.
