Murano lighthouse

The lighthouse rises 35 meters above the Venetian lagoon with a cylindrical stone structure painted white and two black horizontal bands on its upper section.

The current structure replaced a metal skeletal tower in 1934, marking a significant advancement in maritime navigation for the Venetian waters.

The lighthouse stands near the glass-making district of Murano, where artisans continue the centuries-old tradition of creating glass masterworks.

The automated range rear light emits white signals every six seconds, reaching vessels up to seventeen nautical miles away in the Adriatic Sea.

The tower incorporates Istria stone in its construction, featuring a double balcony system and a lantern that guides maritime traffic through the Venetian canals.
