Square-shaped tower to discover an exhibition about the fortification of the shores of Corsica in Porto.
This square-shaped Genoese tower was built in the 16th century. Entirely restored, it offers from its upper terrace an exceptional view of the entire site. It can be reached by a path carved into the rock. There is an exhibition on the fortification of the shores of Corsica and on the history of the Genoese towers. Magnificent panorama at the top of the tower. For a few years now, you can visit the small museum of the Bruyère which retraces all the uses of this essence, source of the manufacture of the famous eponymous pipes.

Belle tour, carrée, ce qui est rare en Corse puisque les tours génoises sont souvent rondes. Elle est spécialement belle le soir avec les couleurs du coucher de soleil.

Sympathique petite promenade cette montée à la tour génoise qui nous fait découvrir un beau paysage.

Une tour génoise très bien restaurée avec une vue panoramique exceptionnelle sur Porto et son golfe.
One of the rare genoese towers of Corsica to be square! Apart from the small exhibition and magnificent views of the Scandola gulf and the red rocks of Piana, the visit is not long nor very interesting. A highest point excellent for the photographer. For the evening, 1:00 before closing, the sun goes down and enhances the red rocks of Piana!
