The Tour de San Ciprianu (Template:Lang-co) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Lecci (Corse-du-Sud) on the east coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of 57 m and guards the entrance to the port of Porto-Vecchio.
In 1540 the Genoese granted a concession of some land Ambroggio Pinelli Maineri and he undertook to build the tower. It is 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] The design of the San Ciprianu tower is unusual in being square rather than round. The tower is privately owned and in 1995 was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.[2]
