Torre della Meloria, Maritime lighthouse near Livorno, Italy.
The Torre della Meloria stands 18 meters tall with its upper half painted yellow and lower half black for enhanced maritime visibility.
Built in 1709 under Cosimo III de' Medici, the lighthouse replaced earlier structures from 1157 that were damaged by storms and military conflicts.
The lighthouse represents centuries of maritime navigation traditions along the Tuscan coast, marking the entrance to the Port of Livorno.
The lighthouse operates with solar power and emits six quick flashes followed by one long flash every ten seconds, visible from 10 nautical miles.
Four quadrangular pillars connected by Gothic arches form the base of the structure, allowing waves to flow through during storms.
