The Bonaparte family home in Ajaccio was a large four-storey building that proved comfortable for Napoleon his brothers and sisters. All, but Joseph, were born on the first floor of the house.
In 1793, the family members left Corsica because of their pro-French political leanings and it wasn't until 1797 that his mother Letitzia returned.
The house has been enlarged and refurbished several times in its history and is now a museum.
