Tour de Castelluccio
The Tour de Castelluccio ((コルシカ語:Torra di Castelluchju)) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Ajaccio (Corse-du-Sud) off the west coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits on the southern end of the Île Grande Sanguinaire, the largest island in the Îles Sanguinaires archipelago.
The tower was one of a series of coastal defences built by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates. The exact year when the tower was built is not known but it is mentioned in a report written in 1597 for the Genoese authorities by the engineer Britio Tramallo and the lawyer Gieronimo Bonaparte. The report gives the dimensions of three structures on the island: a chapel, a round tower and the surviving small square tower. The small tower (''la torretta piccola'') now known as the Tour de Castelluccio, is recorded as being in height with walls thick at the base reducing to at the top. The large round tower was in height and in diameter. It sat on the highest point of the Grande Sanguinaire island but was demolished in the 19th century when the existing lighthouse was constructed. In Genoese documents the large round tower was referred to as the ''Sanguinare di Fuori'' or the ''Sanguinare di Mare'' while the Tour de la Parata was the ''Sanguinare di Terra''.
