Torrean civilization
The Torrean civilization was a Bronze Age megalithic civilization that developed in Southern Corsica, mostly concentrated south of Ajaccio, during the second half of the second millennium BC. == History == The characteristic buildings of this culture are the torri ("towers"), megalithic structures similar to the Sardinian nuraghes, from which the culture takes its name, and the castelli ("castles"), more complex buildings that include a wall, a tower and huts. According to preliminary investigations conducted during the 1950s by the French scholar Roger Grosjean, the Torrean civilization began when, at the end of the second millennium BC, the Sea People known as Sherden landed on the island from the Eastern Mediterranean, subduing the native megalithic population.
