Palmaiola Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Rio Marina, Italy
The Palmaiola Lighthouse stands 14 meters tall on the summit of Palmaiola Island between the Piombino Channel and Elba Island.
The original structure dates from 909 when Pisans constructed a watchtower, while the current lighthouse began operations in January 1844.
The lighthouse maintains the maritime traditions of the Tuscan Archipelago, serving as a symbol of navigation heritage in the Mediterranean Sea.
The facility operates on solar power, emitting white flashes every five seconds that reach vessels within a range of 10 nautical miles.
A dedicated helipad near the lighthouse enables maintenance teams to access the facility using Marina Militare EH-101 aircraft.
