Capo Mele Lighthouse

The white circular masonry tower rises 25 meters above the Ligurian coast, with a grey metallic dome and an octagonal structure at its summit.

The lighthouse construction began in 1856, underwent color changes from yellow to red, and received electricity upgrades following repairs after World War II damage.

The structure represents a crucial part of Italian maritime heritage, operated by Marina Militare personnel who maintain navigation safety along the coastline.

The lighthouse projects three white flashes every 15 seconds, with its beam reaching 24 nautical miles across the Mediterranean Sea from a focal height of 94 meters.

The lighthouse tower connects to a three-story brick building where staff members reside, accessed through a 74-step staircase leading to the lantern room.
