Morosaglia (pronounced as /it/; in French mɔʁoza(l)ja/; Corsican: Merusaglia|link=no, in Corsican pronounced as /mɛˈruzaʎʎa/) is a commune in the Haute-Corse department, on the island of Corsica, France. Since 2015, it is the seat of the canton of Golo-Morosaglia.[2]
Morosaglia is the native commune of Pasquale Paoli (1725-1807). The house in which he was born is a museum. This commune also is the historical seat of the Corsican Republic. Paoli had his chambers in the Franciscan monastery and the Corsican parliament met there.[3]
Morosaglia is to the northeast of Corte in Castagniccia. The commune extends to the east to the largest mountain of Castagniccia, mounting to to the peak of San Paolu, and stretches to the west for 13km (08miles) beyond the river Golo.
In the plain of the river, nearly at its confluence with the Asco, on the Bastia-Ajaccio road, is the hamlet of Ponte-Leccia, where the only railway branch of the entire island is located, the branch to Calvi. The statisticians have given the name of Ponte-Leccia to a microregion of 3,800 people and, which approximates the ancient parish of Caccia and the canton.
