Torra di l'Isuledda

The **Torra di l'Isuledda** ([Corsican](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsican_language): *Torra di l'Isuledda*) is a [Genoese tower](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genoese_towers_in_Corsica) located in the commune of [Pietrosella](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietrosella) ([Corse-du-Sud](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corse-du-Sud)) on the island of Corsica. The tower, part of a series of 88 coastal defenses constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates, sits at an elevation of 68 m on a promontory called Punta di Sette Nave.

It forms the southern limit of the Gulf of Ajaccio. The tower was restored in 1970 and listed as one of the official historical monuments of France in 1992. Curiously, although it was built to protect against pirate attacks, it offers a captivating view of its surroundings. It is owned by the commune of Pietrosella.
