Lighthouse at Punta Chiappa, Maritime navigation point in Porto-Vecchio, France
The Punta Chiappa lighthouse stands 18 meters tall on the southeastern coast of Corsica, featuring a square stone tower with a surrounding terrace point.
Constructed in 1839 and first lit in 1845, this lighthouse emerged as part of a strategic network of five primary beacons established around Corsica.
The lighthouse holds recognition in the French general inventory of cultural heritage, representing centuries of maritime navigation traditions in the Mediterranean region.
The lighthouse operates with a 650-watt halogen lantern and molded glass optics, projecting its beam across 23 nautical miles of the Mediterranean Sea.
Located at the entrance of Porto-Vecchio Gulf, the structure includes auxiliary buildings that previously housed keeper quarters on its square base.
