FRANCE. CORSE DU SUD (2A) EXTREME SOUTH REGION. BONIFACIO. THE CITADEL. STAIRCASE OF THE KING OF ARAGON. CARVED BY MAN DIRECTLY INTO THE LIMESTONE, AND CONSISTING OF 189 STEPS, THIS STAIRCASE IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN DUG IN JUST ONE NIGHT BY THE TROOPS OF THE KING OF ARAGON DURING THE SIEGE OF BONIFACIO IN 1420. MORE LIKELY, IT WAS DUG OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME BY FRANCISCAN MONKS TO GAIN ACCESS TO A SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE.
