__NOTOC__ The Tour de la Parata ((コルシカ語:Torra di a Parata)) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Ajaccio (Corse-du-Sud) on the west coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of on a rocky promontory, the Pointe de la Parata, to the north-east of the Îles Sanguinaires archipelago. The tower was built in 1550-1551 by Giacomo Lombardo. It was one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates. The tower is in height and has a diameter of at the level of the roof platform. It contains two vaulted rooms, one above the other. In the surviving Genoese documents the tower is called the ''Sanguinera di Terra''. A similar tower which once sat on the highest point of the Grande Sanguinaire island was called the ''Sanguinera di Fuori'' or the ''Sanguinera di Mare''. The Grande Sanguinaire tower was demolished in the 19th century when the existing lighthouse was constructed. A second small tower at the south-west end of the Grande Sanguinaire island has survived. In a Genoese document it is referred to as the ''torretta piccola'' (little tower). It is now called the Tour de Castelluccio. ==Gallery== File:Tour de la Parata section.jpg|Section though the tower File:Tour de la Parata plan.jpg| Plan of the lower floor File:Corsica Ajaccio Îles Sanguinaires Tour genoise.jpg| Tower and the Îles Sanguinaires 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tour de la Parata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
