Torra di Nonza is a historic tower above the coastal village of Nonza in Corsica. The short, steep walk leads up through narrow streets to views over the village and its dark pebble beach, where clear water meets the shore. You cannot enter or climb the tower, so the visit is about seeing it from outside and taking in the setting. Allow time to wander the lanes, or continue down towards the beach if you want to reach the water.
Finding the tower path
The route rises from the village through narrow streets, and the entrance to the path can be easy to miss among the houses. The walk is short but steep, so comfortable footwear helps on the climb.
The tower is viewed from outside. You cannot climb to its top, but the area around it looks over Nonza and the coast.
Down to the beach
Steps from the village lead down towards the dark pebble beach. The route via the Spring of St Julie is another way to reach the shore. Parking is available along the main road, but spaces are limited, so an early arrival can make parking easier.
