    Genoese towers are the round towers that are spread out along the coast of Corsica and were built by the Genoese from the middle of the 16th century to protect themselves from North African Muslim pirates. They complemented a series of square towers previously built by the Pisans, but they also built this shape (e.g. Tour de Nonza).
