The Tower of Asprettu (Corsican: Torra d'Asprettu) was a Genoese tower near to Ajaccio on the west coast of the Corsica. No trace of the tower survives.
The tower was one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates.[1] It was built for Agostino Bonaparte in 1582 and is included in a list of the towers defending the Corsican coastline compiled by the Genoese authorities in 1617.[2]
