The Tour de Tizzano or Fortin de Tizzano (Corsican: Torra di Tizzà) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Sartène 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.
In 1985 the tower was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.
