Phare de la Pietra, Maritime lighthouse in L'Île-Rousse, France.
The white square tower rises 64 meters above sea level on La Pietra island, featuring a green lantern and solar-powered automated lighting system.
Constructed during the third quarter of the 19th century under Napoleon III's reign, this lighthouse marked the second phase of maritime safety installations in Corsica.
The lighthouse structure includes three interpretation rooms presenting maritime history through historical documents, interactive models, and multimedia installations.
During summer months, visitors can access the lighthouse interior and follow a marked pedestrian path offering views of Balagne villages and mountains.
The lighthouse employs a three-flash system every twelve seconds, alternating between white and green sectors to guide maritime navigation.
