The Tower of Tòllari (Corsican: Torra di Tòllari) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Ersa on the north coast of Cap Corse on the 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]
