What plant is it?

Grows spontaneously on the Ligurian cliffs. Looks like a succulent but I don't know its name. Anyone can help please?

Sorry can't tell from the image. (And I ain't leaning over to have a look either.)

I would guess Agave Americana once imported to Europe but now common in Mediterranean area and Canary Islands.

Could it possibly be the top of an agave "century" plant?
