The Tower of Isuledda (Corsican: Torra di l'Isuledda) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Pietrosella (Corse-du-Sud) on the Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of 68 m on a promontory, the Punta di Sette Nave, which forms the southern limit of the Gulf of Ajaccio.

The tower was built in around 1597. It 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.^[1] The tower was restored in 1970^[2] and listed as one of the official historical monuments of France in 1992.
