    Tips

    Unfortunately only half of the old tower is still standing, it is still very nice to look at. The tower was built to defend the coast of the Republic of Genoa in the years 1563/64. In 1794 two British warships unsuccessfully attacked the tower of Mortella, but was eventually taken over by British land forces from inland. The British were so impressed by the effectiveness of the tower that they copied its construction several times and wrongly called the construction "Martello", not "Mortella". When the British withdrew from Corsica in 1796, they blew up the tower.

        Cape with an old, relatively dilapidated and a new lighthouse. Nice view of Saint Florent and the Cap Corse. The remains of an old Genoese tower still stand on the rocky shore. The cap can be reached on foot in about 3 hours from Saint Florent on a beautiful coastal path with numerous small beaches. The path continues to the somewhat larger Lodu beach.
