The lighthouse was built by
Leopod II Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1788; the light stone tower is 25 metres high and has a double balcony and lantern and was restored in 1915. The lighthouse is fully automated, operated by
Marina Militare and identified by the code number 2072 E.F.; the lantern is at above sea level and emits a
group of three white lightning flashes in a 14 seconds period visible up to 16
nautical miles. On the same tower is an additional light identified by the number 2072.2 E.F. that emits a red fixed light at 60
metres above sea level to warn the ships about the
Capo Bianco shoal. ==See also==
