Geography


Aghion is located on the eastern plains of Corsica 5 km west of Aleria. It can be accessed by the D343 road which comes from the National Highway N198 in the south east and passes west through the southern plain of the commune to Maison Pierraggi in the west and continues on to Vezzani in the Tagnone Valley 25 kilometres (16 mi) away. From the D343 the D443 branches north at the hamlet of Samuleto and continues to the village before continuing north by a tortuous mountain route to Casevecchie.[4]

The commune is watered by the Tagnone, a tributary of Tavignano that separates an area of hills to the north from the plain, which is larger in area, to the south. There is a large dam with a large lake in the south of the commune.[4]
