The Poggiolo (French: Ruisseau de Poggiolo, Corsican: Fiume di Poggiolu) is a small coastal stream in the department of Haute-Corse, Corsica, France. It enters the Tyrrhenian Sea from the east of the Cap Corse peninsula.

Course

The Poggiolo is 6.94 kilometres (4.31 mi) long and flows through the communes of San-Martino-di-Lota and Santa-Maria-di-Lota.[1] The stream rises in the Serra di Guagalone.[2] Its source is to the east of the 1,198 metres (3,930 ft) U Cimone. It flows south and then east past the village of Santa-Maria-di-Lota to enter the sea in the village of Miomo.[3] Its mouth is south of the Miomo pebble beach.[2]

For thirteen centuries the coasts of Corsica were at risk of being raided. The Genoese built a tower, the Torra di Miomu, near the mouth of the Poggiolu to guard its valley.[2]

The stream flows through a hilly schist landscape covered in thick maquis shrubland, with groves of green oaks (Quercus ilex). Along its banks there are ash trees, alders, hornbeams, hops and chestnut trees.[4] The stream is populated with brown trout (Salmo trutta).[5] The stream is in the Chenaies vertes du Cap Corse (Cap Corse green oaks) Zone naturelle d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF).[6][7]
