The Tour de Vignale (Template:Lang-co) was a Genoese tower located in the commune of Ghisonaccia on the east 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.[1]
