Forte La Rocca Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Forte La Rocca) is an active lighthouse located next to the tip of the promontory of the Argentario on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Description
[edit | edit source]The lighthouse, built in 1862, consists of a cylindrical tower, 19 metres (62 ft) high, with balcony and lantern placed atop the south east bastion of a fortification built by the Aldobrandeschi in the mid 1400. The tower is covered by white mosaic tails made of wind and salt resistant material; the lantern dome is grey metallic. The light is positioned at 91 metres (299 ft) above sea level and emits a long white or red flash in a 7 seconds period, depending from the direction, visible up to a distance of 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated and managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2172 E.F.[2][3]
