Isola Razzoli Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Maddalena archipelago, Italy
Description
The Isola Razzoli Lighthouse is a coastal beacon in the Maddalena archipelago off Sardinia. The stone cylindrical tower with its white balcony and grey metallic lantern dome crowns the northern edge of the island, creating a distinctive presence on the coastline.
History
The beacon was built in 1845 as a crucial navigation point between Sardinia and the French Lavezzi islands. Over time it has been modernized, yet it still stands as a reminder of early maritime practices in these straits.
Culture
The lighthouse shapes the character of this island cluster and reflects the long tradition of seafaring in these waters. Visitors today see a structure that has become part of the landscape while telling stories of maritime importance.
Practical
The structure runs on solar power and falls under the management of the Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park. The area around the tower has limited access, but the light projection extends far across the water when visibility is good.
Did you know?
The beacon sends alternating white and red flashes that vary depending on the direction of approach. This light pattern helps ships determine their position precisely as they navigate toward these waters.
