Scoglio d'Affrica Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse on Scoglio d'Africa rock, Campo nell'Elba, Italy.
The white stone cylindrical tower rises 16 meters above a conical base, featuring a balcony and lantern at its summit in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The lighthouse opened in 1867 to enhance maritime navigation safety between the islands of Montecristo and Pianosa in the Tuscan archipelago.
The Marina Militare maintains this maritime structure, which stands as a testament to Italian naval engineering in the Mediterranean region.
Solar panels power the automated lighthouse system, which emits white flashes every 5 seconds visible up to 12 nautical miles at sea.
Located on a solitary rock formation between islands, the lighthouse operates without human presence through a modern photovoltaic system.
