Torra di Caldarellu, Coastal defense tower in Pianottoli-Caldarello, France.

Torra di Caldarellu is a cylindrical Genoese stone tower standing at 16 metres above sea level on the north shore of the Baie de Figari, in the commune of Pianottoli-Caldarello on Corsica's southwest coast. Its weathered beige and grey masonry rises from a wider base to an uneven top edge with a rectangular notch, and a single small opening shows on one side. Low scrub, rounded boulders and trees cover the slope around it, above a rocky shoreline.

The tower was built between 1586 and 1617, one of a chain of coastal defences the Republic of Genoa raised between 1530 and 1620 against Barbary pirate raids. It stands 16 metres above sea level on the north shore of the Baie de Figari. On 24 January 1995 it was listed as a monument historique.

Locally the tower is called Torra di Caldarellu in Corsican and tour de Figari in French, after the bay it watches over. It is one of the coastal defences the Republic of Genoa built between 1530 and 1620 against Barbary pirate raids, and it has been listed as a monument historique since 24 January 1995.

The tower stands at 16 m elevation on the north shore of the Baie de Figari, reached by paths across the scrub and rounded rocks of the hillside; the ground is uneven and the slope exposed, so wear sturdy shoes and carry water and wind protection. The base is partly screened by vegetation and a large grey boulder on its right.
