The construction of the tower was begun in March 1599. It 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] In 1926 the tower was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.[2] The date of construction given in the database (1520) is incorrect.
