Torra di Capiteddu, Genoese coastal tower in Grosseto-Prugna, France.

Torra di Capiteddu is a cylindrical tower of rough light brown and grey stone blocks, standing on the coast of Grosseto-Prugna south of Ajaccio near Porticcio beach. A rounded cornice projects about a third of the way up; above it are small rectangular openings, below it a few slit holes and a small arched window. The flat top rim is uneven, with weathered stone brackets protruding around it, and a green tree grows against the front face above a low stone wall.

Construction of the tower began in 1552, one of the coastal defences the Republic of Genoa built between 1530 and 1620 against Barbary pirate raids. On 23 and 24 May 1793 Napoleon Bonaparte and his family took refuge there from followers of Pascal Paoli. Its roof terrace was modified during the Second World War, and the tower was listed as a monument historique on 8 March 1991.

The tower's name comes from the Corsican torra di Capiteddu, and it stands near Porticcio beach south of Ajaccio. On 23 and 24 May 1793 Napoleon Bonaparte and his family took refuge here from supporters of Pascal Paoli, who were reacting to the arrest warrant the Convention had issued against him.

Visitors can explore the lower level via a modern staircase and ascend to the top terrace to enjoy views of the coastline. The site is relatively accessible, though sturdy footwear is helpful since the paths and stairs are made of stone.

On 23 and 24 May 1793 Napoleon Bonaparte and his family took refuge in the tower, fleeing supporters of Pascal Paoli who were avenging the arrest warrant the Convention had issued against him. The episode ties the coastal watchtower to the Bonaparte family's flight from Corsica.
