  The Tour d'Olmeto (Corsican: Torra d'Ulmetu) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Monacia-d'Aullène on the west coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits on the Punta di Caniscione headland.
  
  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.
