Abstract: In this study, we investigated the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (southern Corsica), which is part of the innermost Axial Zone of the Corsica-Sardinia Variscan belt. To better evaluate its geological and structural outline, a 1:5000 geological map, coupled with new structural/microstructural and petrographic data, is presented. The complex is formed by three tectonic units, from bottom to top: (i) an Orthogneiss Unit, (ii) a Leptyno-Amphibolite Unit, and (iii) a Micaschist Unit. They are separated by ductile shear zones with a top-to-the-SE sense of shear. They underwent a polyphase deformation and polymetamorphic history, with a shortening stage in the amphibolite facies, responsible for the main structures and shearing, followed by an exhumation phase.
