The hamlet of Le Port is located at the mouth of the "Fiume di Morta" and has a population of about 100 in the winter and 300 in the summer. In the 1st century BC, there was already a port called Centurinum Civitas, and it was subsequently considered one of the most important ports on the island, eventually becoming the military port of Pasquale Paoli's independent Corsica and the arsenal of the Corsican Navy. It was later burned down and rebuilt during the Second Empire. Today, all the shops that make up the village are located here. To the west of the hamlet is the islet of Capense, detached from the land by marine erosion and fortified in the 13th century, on which are the ruins of the chapel of Santa Maria Maddalena.
