Text description provided by the architects. Nested in the heart of the millennial citadel of Bonifacio, the Montlaur nursery is part of the military, geological, and sedimentary heritage of the city. Bordered by walls, walkways, and fortifications, the limestone plateau welcomes today a new layer to its history. Cities have always known how to rebuild themselves. The former Montlaur military district is no exception and has just opened up to its conversion. Three limestone windmills are erect in the landscape. With these Genoese towers, the physical mighty strength is emphasized. The symbol of the cloister stands out and with its quadrilateral shape it shelters in its lair an interior garden bordered by galleries.
