Pasciola, the fortified tower of Vivariu, was built in 1771 to ensure travel safety and communication between detachments of the French royal forces. It housed a garrison of about fifty men, as well as artillery.

From 1803 to 1811, General Joseph Morand, appointed by Napoleon to administer Corsica, used the structure as a prison, where insurgents, royalists, and Corsican bandits were imprisoned and sometimes tortured. A local curse: "Che tu sia chjusu in Pasciola!" - That you are imprisoned in Pasciola! - illustrates the abuses perpetrated there during this dark period.
