# Torra di Punta d'Arcu

The Tower of Punta d'Arcu (Corsican: Torra di Punta d'Arcu) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Borgo, Haute-Corse on the east coast of Corsica. Only part of the base survives.

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. It is included in a list of the towers defending the Corsican coastline compiled by the Genoese authorities in 1617 (as Ponte darco).
