| The Tower of Santa Maria Chjapella Corsican: Torra di Santa Maria Chjapella is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Rogliano Corse-du-Sud on the east coast of the Corsica. Only part of the tower survives.
The tower was built between 1548 and 1549 for Giacomo Santo Da Mare. 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. The tower was partially destroyed in 1794 by British warships under the command of Horatio Nelson during the French Revolutionary Wars. |
