Col de Teghime

The Col de Teghime (Corsican: Bocca di Teghjime) is a mountain pass in the Haute-Corse department of Corsica, France.

The Col de Teghime is in the commune of Barbaggio, south of Cap Corse, between the towns of Bastia and Saint-Florent, linking the micro-regions of Bagnaja and Nebbio.

Located at the foot of the 963 metres (3,159 ft) Pigno, the Col de Teghime is sometimes snow-covered in winter but is rarely closed to traffic.

The pass was part of a battle for the liberation of Corsica in early October 1943 during World War II.

On 1 October the first attack was made by the goumiers and Corsican resistance fighters against Germans of the 16th SS Reichsführer-SS Panzergrenadier Division at the Col de Teghime.
