Cucuruzzu, Bronze Age archaeological site in Levie, France.
The fortress complex features an ancient tower measuring 8 meters in diameter and reaches heights between 4 to 5 meters in stone construction.
Roger Grosjean discovered this settlement in 1959, leading archaeological excavations in 1963 and 1964 before the site received monument status in 1982.
The stone structures at Cucuruzzu represent the engineering methods of the Torre civilization, which constructed fortified settlements across Corsica.
Visitors can access the site from Tuesday through Saturday during off-season and daily in summer, with entrance fees of 4 euros for adults.
The surrounding granite formations incorporate natural rock formations into the defensive architecture of this prehistoric settlement.
