vestiges of the past (low wall, tower&#8230;). Villas were already built in the area in the 11th century.<br\/>The most important vestige is of course the Genoese tower of Spanu also called Torra di Bastianu. You will see it from quite a distance in several directions.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/6c-Punta-di-Spanu\/i-pX6Skzn\/5\/7a3c7727\/L\/Punta_di_Spanu_Corsica-64-L.jpg\" alt=\"Genoese tower of Punta di Spanu\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>It was built in the 16th century, round in shape. It would be, apparently, one of the first built and also one of the smallest.<br\/>It was part of the impressive defense network around the island. You will see many other towers during your trip.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Corsica\/6c-Punta-di-Spanu\/i-h7RpHpg\/5\/38f05e7e\/L\/Punta_di_Spanu_Corsica-45-L.jpg\" alt=\"Torra di Bastianu\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking from Punta Caldanu<\/h3>\n\n<p>Not far from Pubnta di Spanu, in the South, you can also find Puna Caldanu with its own tower. This point is smaller with a parking lot and nice views. But we find it less fascinating than Spanu.<br\/>But you can make a beautiful hike between the 2 points.<br\/>You will enjoy beautiful views of the bay all along and you will cross different coves. The walk takes 2 hours round trip.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking from Agajola<\/h3>\n\n<p>And you can also walk from the east and the village of Algajola and make a loop.<br\/>The hike is 4h15 with a return to the starting point.<br\/>You can see the east coast and the coast south of Punta di Spanu.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sprayer Punta di Spanu<\/h3>\n\n<p>LOL. Apparently the brand Casanera has created a spray named after this place to recall its scents of the coves between sea and scrub.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\"
