Ancona Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ancona, Italy
The concrete lighthouse on Colle dei Cappuccini reaches 15 meters high and features a double balcony with vertical white and grey stripes along its exterior.
Built in 1971 to replace the original 1860 structure commissioned by Pope Pius IX, this navigational beacon maintains maritime safety on the Adriatic coast.
The lighthouse stands as a representation of Ancona's strong connection to maritime activities and naval traditions along the Italian Adriatic coastline.
The automated lighthouse emits four white flashes every thirty seconds, guiding vessels with signals visible up to twenty-five nautical miles from shore.
Located 119.5 meters from its predecessor, the current lighthouse maintains a focal height of 118 meters above sea level for optimal maritime navigation.
