Casteddu di Tappa

Casteddu di Tappa is a Bronze Age archaeological site of the Torrean culture on a rocky promontory dominating the Caniccione valley near Porto-Vecchio, Corsica. Excavated by Roger Grosjean in 1960-1961, it features a cyclopean enclosure surrounding a village and enclosing a monumental torre -- a circular dry-stone tower with a chamber, diverticula, a straight corridor, and an access ramp to the upper floor. Recent artifact analysis dates the site's construction, occupation, and abandonment between 1900 and 1500 BC, following an initial Neolithic settlement. Multiple dwellings with fireplaces were found within the fortified area. Tappa has been classified as a Monument Historique since 2021.
