This Genoese tower was built as a defensive position to protect against pirates. Located right next to the beach, it looks magical and is the perfect place to take a break from your run and enjoy the view.

16th-century Genoese coastal defense tower in eastern Corsica. Built to protect against pirates, it was partially damaged in 1794 by British forces led by Horatio Nelson. This unusually tall tower, now a French historical monument, offers a glimpse into Corsica's turbulent past and is part of ongoing coastal conservation efforts.
