  The Tower of Sacru (Corsican: Torra di Sacru) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Brando, Haute-Corse on the east coast of the Corsica. Only part of the base survives.
  
  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.
