Capu Rossu, Natural conservation area in Gulf of Porto, France

The red granite cliffs of Capu Rossu extend along the Mediterranean coast, reaching heights of 331 meters above sea level.

The Genoese constructed the Tour de Turghiu watchtower in 1608 as part of their maritime defense network against pirates in the Mediterranean Sea.

The surrounding landscape features traditional shepherd shelters and agricultural structures that reflect the historical pastoral activities of Corsican communities.

The hiking trail begins 6 kilometers west of Piana village on the D824 road, offering an 8-kilometer round trip that requires 3 to 4 hours.

The site hosts colonies of Audouin's gulls and black cormorants within its protected coastal environment of 79 hectares.
