The Corsiglièse is a stream in the department of Haute-Corse, Corsica, France. It is a tributary of the river Tavignano.

Course

The Corsiglièse is 24.31 kilometres (15.11 mi) long.[1] The stream rises to the south of the village of Sant'Andréa-di-Bozio and flows in a generally south-southeast direction to its junction with the Tavignano. It runs between the D16 or D116 to the east and the D14 to the west.[2] The course of the Corsiglièse follows a fault between the schist mountains and the eastern plain, an unstable area where landslides are possible.[3]

The castrum of Petralerata (Pietr'Ellerat) was in the heart of the Corsiglièse valley, on a peak, and had a defensive character unmatched on the island. It was first mentioned in 1149.[4]
