Description
[edit | edit source]The lighthouse was built in 1858 in concrete and has a cylindrical shape with balcony and lantern atop a 1-storey keeper's house. The tower is 12 metres (39 ft) high and the lantern is positioned at a height of 68 metres (223 ft) above sea level. The light is fully automated and operated by Marina Militare identified by the Country code number 3120.3 E.F. The lighthouse has a solar power unit and emits an alternating three white flashes in a fifteen seconds period visible up to 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi).[2]
The keeper's house is no longer inhabited and it is in ruin; on October 12, 2015, the Agenzia del Demanio, who run the State ownership buildings, decided to give it in concession to private.[3] The lighthouse has been awarded to a company that deals with investments in the Hotel sector with the intention of transforming the keeper's house in a six-room resort.[4]
