Torre Quezzi, Military tower in Genoa, Italy.

Torre Quezzi is a cylindrical brick tower positioned on high ground in the eastern section of Genoa with views across the harbor. The structure was built to withstand artillery fire and oversee the harbor entrance from its strategic location.

Torre Quezzi was built between 1818 and 1823 by the Corpo Reale del Genio Sardo as a small circular support work, because Forte Quezzi lacked adequate defence along the mountain's northern ridge. In 1830 a military report judged the fort badly placed but the tower's position excellent; projects to add bastions and enlarge it into a fort like Begato were drawn up but never carried out. Around 1909 the military abandoned it and it became a restaurant, then was left derelict after World War II.

Locals call the tower simply after the Quezzi heights where it stands, and shepherds still occasionally shelter their flocks inside its ruined shell. The rare Tyrrhenian gecko (Euleptes europaea), Europe's smallest vertebrate, lives on its brick walls; elsewhere in Liguria it is found only on the islands of Tino and Tinetto, so the site is a protected EU conservation area.

The tower stands on the Quezzi heights above the Bisagno valley, beside Valnoci aqueduct reservoirs on a paved clearing. On foot, take via Leamara from the Quezzi district or a trail from the Sant'Eusebio square, also rideable by mountain bike; by car, come from the Biscione district. The military road from Forte Quezzi towards Forte Richelieu passes nearby.

The tower's surroundings are a protected EU habitat: the rare Euleptes europaea gecko, Europe's smallest vertebrate, lives on its walls. Elsewhere in Liguria it is found only on the islands of Tino and Tinetto in La Spezia province.
