Located in the commune of Levie, Cucuruzzu is an archaeological site in Corsica. It is a ruined fortified village dating from the Bronze Age.
After interest in Cucuruzzu in 1959 by archaeologist Roger Grosjean, who was known for having studied Filitosa, excavations were instigated in 1963 and 1964. The state acquired the site in 1975 and declared it an historical monument in 1982. It is now owned by the Territorial Collectivity of Corsica.
Restored in 1991, the site was stripped of invasive vegetation. Its development provides public access while limiting its degradation.
