The Tour d'Omigna (Corsican: Torra d'Omigna) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Cargèse on the French island of Corsica.
The tower was built between 1605 and 1606 under the direction of Giacomo della Piana. It was one of a series of coastal defences built by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates. In 1991 it was listed as one of the official Historical Monuments of France.
Since 1977 the tower has been owned by a French government agency, the Conservatoire du littoral. The agency has anounced that it plans to purchase 212 hectares (520 acres) of the headland and as of 2011 had acquired 121 hectares (300 acres). The tower was restored in 2009 and visitors can climb up onto the roof terrace.
An area of 255 hectares (630 acres) that includes the headland and portions of the adjacent coastline is owned by an agency of the French state, the Conservatoire du littoral.
