After World War II, the building started to host the museum of the city after light renovation, the part that had been destroyed by the bomb was not rebuilt at that time. The Palais des Gouverneurs as symbole of power The shape of the palace is related to its original purpose, the mansion of the Governor of Corsica when the island was under domination from Genoa Republic (actually part of Italy). The plan is a perfect square, a geometric shape to symbolise order and power. The project was to recover the geometry of the original quadrilateral construction. The vacuum left by the destruction of the northwest corner during second World War had been completed in a contemporary style.
