Close your eyes and imagine the sound of the waves amid this wonderful sunset in Corsica. Built in 1550–-1551, the Genoese Tower of Parata is a defence tower located on the peninsula of La Parata, about 15 kilometres west of Ajaccio, Corsica. It was built in the 16th century by Giacomo Lombardo, a Genoese chief mason, and is part of a set of 90 Genoese towers intended to defend the Corsican coasts from maritime attacks.
