Punta Ferraione Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Capraia Isola, Italy

The lighthouse features a white quadrangular tower reaching 12 meters in height with an attached two-story keeper's house at its base.

Established in 1868, the lighthouse underwent significant renovations in 1908 to enhance its operational capabilities for maritime navigation in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The lighthouse structure represents 19th-century Italian maritime engineering, with its octagonal lantern design reflecting the architectural standards of the period.

The automated light system produces white flashes every 6 seconds, visible from 16 nautical miles away, guiding vessels through the Tuscan Archipelago.

The facility houses the local Guardia Costiera office while maintaining its primary function as an active navigational beacon at 30 meters above sea level.
