Description


The lighthouse, built in 1865 by Genio civile, consists of a stone octagonal tower, 11 metres (36 ft) high, with balcony and lantern attached to the seaward side of a 1-storey building that was originally a fortification. When the Marina Militare automated the lighthouse, the keeper's house was abandoned and went in ruin, so in the 2000s. a new fibreglass tower was set up in front of the old.
The light is positioned at 16 metres (52 ft) above sea level and emits one white flash in a 4 seconds period visible up to a distance of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated and managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2926 E.F.[2]
