Vieste Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse on Santa Eufemia islet in Vieste, Italy
The white limestone tower rises 27 meters high with an octagonal structure and includes a balcony, lantern, and a two-story foundation building.
The lighthouse construction started in 1867 following Francesco Saverio Gatta's architectural plan and transformed to full automation in 1997.
Archaeological excavations near the lighthouse uncovered 200 votive inscriptions in Greek and Latin from ancient sailors dedicated to Venus Sosandra.
The lighthouse emits three white flashes every fifteen seconds and remains visible from 25 nautical miles across the Adriatic Sea.
The site contains a cave that evolved from a pagan sanctuary to a Christian worship location through centuries of maritime history.
