Fortin de Tizzano

The fortress consists of a central structure surrounded by a fortified enclosure with four circular towers and defensive walls.

Built upon a 16th-century Genoese tower, the fort expanded in the late 18th century under the governor of Corsica's direction.

The fort's monolithic lintel gate represents the architectural techniques of military construction methods from different periods in Corsican history.

Visitors should verify current opening hours and access conditions, as the structure belongs to private owners and maintains restricted areas.

The inner walkway along the perimeter walls provides direct access to different sections while maintaining the original defensive layout.
