Second half 16th century

The Tour de Micalona (Corsican: Torra di Micalona) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Meria on the west coast of the French island of Corsica.

The tower 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.
