Torra di Lozari

The cylindrical stone tower stands at 32 meters elevation on the Corsican coast, featuring a circular base and partially destroyed upper sections.

Built in 1573 by master mason Angelo Aijcardo, the tower suffered significant damage during a pirate attack in 1584, leading to its current ruined state.

Archaeological excavations in 2015 revealed rich findings including ceramic fragments, animal bones, and shell remains, providing insights into 16th-century Corsican life.

Visitors can reach the tower through two paths: a five-minute walk from Lozari beach or via a trail starting from National Road 197.

The interior contains a polygonal dome vault constructed with large flat stones and white lime mortar, incorporating wooden framework elements in its support wall.
