Punta Imperatore Lighthouse

The white lighthouse rises 13 meters high on a promontory, featuring a two-story keeper's house and a cylindrical tower with a grey metallic dome.

Construction of the first lighthouse structure began in 1883, with operations commencing in 1884 to guide vessels navigating through the Tyrrhenian Sea near Naples.

Lucia Capuano made history at the lighthouse when she took over as keeper after her husband's death in service on November 25, 1937.

The automated lighthouse emits two white flashes every 15 seconds, visible up to 22 nautical miles across the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Standing at 164 meters above sea level, the lighthouse structure incorporates traditional architectural methods from the late nineteenth century in its masonry design.
