Strombolicchio Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Strombolicchio island, Italy

The white cylindrical tower rises 13 meters above a single-story stone keeper's house on the volcanic sea stack of Strombolicchio island.

The lighthouse construction in 1925 marked a significant advancement in maritime safety for vessels navigating the waters around the Aeolian Islands.

Maritime navigation traditions in the Aeolian archipelago center around the lighthouse, which guides fishing boats and commercial vessels through Mediterranean waters.

The automated lighthouse operates on solar power and emits three white flashes every 15 seconds, visible from a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The lighthouse stands on a basalt sea stack formed from an ancient volcano that eroded 200,000 years ago, leaving only its central core.
