Portofino lighthouse, Maritime beacon at Promontorio di Portofino, Italy
The white quadrangular lighthouse rises 12 meters above the Mediterranean coast with a two-story keeper's house and a balcony surrounding the lantern.
The Italian Marina Militare built this navigation aid in 1917 at the western end of the Gulf of Tigullio peninsula to guide vessels through coastal waters.
This lighthouse stands as a testament to early 20th-century maritime architecture and continues to exemplify the nautical traditions of the Ligurian coast.
The automated beacon emits white flashes every 5 seconds, visible from 16 nautical miles away, powered by solar energy for sustainable operation.
Located at coordinates 44.2986619, 9.2183732, the structure bears the Marina Militare identification code 1675 E.F and operates at 40 meters above sea level.
