The Tour du Sel (Corsican: Torra di Calvi) is a Genoese tower in the commune of Calvi (Haute-Corse) on the French island of Corsica.
The tower 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.[1]
In 1990 the tower together with the ramparts of the citadel were classified as one of the official historical monuments of France.[2]
