Torra di Lozari, Genoese coastal defense tower in Belgodère, France

Torra di Lozari is a cylindrical stone tower on the Corsican coast, standing at about 32 meters elevation and featuring a circular base. The upper portion of the structure shows significant damage and clear signs of age and deterioration.

Torra di Lozari was one of a chain of coastal defences the Republic of Genoa built between 1530 and 1620 to counter raids by Barbary pirates. Only the base of the tower survives today, standing on a headland 32 metres above the sea in the commune of Belgodère. The Conservatoire du littoral planned to buy the headland and adjoining coastline and by 2017 had acquired 66 hectares.

The name Lozari comes from the Corsican place-name of the headland and coastline where the tower stands in Belgodère commune. The ruin is now part of a protected coastal area: the Conservatoire du littoral had acquired 66 hectares of the headland and adjacent coastline by 2017.

The tower stands on the Lozari headland at 32 metres above the sea, in the commune of Belgodère on Corsica's west coast. Only the base of the structure survives, so the site is reached on foot over open ground; the Conservatoire du littoral has been acquiring the headland and adjacent coastline, 66 hectares by 2017.

Only the base of Torra di Lozari survives; the rest of the round stone tower has collapsed, leaving a curved wall with a jagged top edge on the hillside. The Conservatoire du littoral planned to buy the headland and had acquired 66 hectares by 2017.
