Cap de Caça Lighthouse, Maritime navigational lighthouse in Capo Caccia, Alghero, Italy.
The lighthouse stands 24 meters tall on a promontory, reaching a focal height of 186 meters above the Mediterranean Sea at the northwestern coast of Sardinia.
Built in 1864 to guide vessels through the Sea of Sardinia, the lighthouse underwent reconstruction in the 1950s with the installation of modern rotating optics.
The structure represents the maritime heritage of Sardinia and carries multiple names in regional languages, including Far del Cap de Caça in Catalan.
The lighthouse emits white light flashes every five seconds, providing navigation assistance to ships within a range of 24 nautical miles from the coast.
Two keepers maintain this functioning lighthouse, which connects to Neptune's Grotto via the Escala de Cabirol staircase with 656 steps.
