The Tour de Gerolata or Fortin de Gerolata (Template:Lang-co) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Osani (Corse-du-Sud) on the west coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of 36 m on a rocky outcrop in the Golfe de Girolata.
The tower was built between 1551 and 1552. The construction was initially supervised by Gieronimo da Levanto but on his death he was replaced by Giovan Battista de'Franchi. The tower 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] It is now owned by the state and in 2008 was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.[2]
