Revellata lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Calvi, France
The Revellata lighthouse is a white tower standing about 19 meters high on Corsica's northern coast, built to guide ships through these waters. The structure rises from rocky terrain at the water's edge and can be spotted from far out at sea.
The lighthouse began operating in December 1844 as France worked to improve safety for ships sailing along its coasts. It was built during a period when maritime traffic was increasing and new technologies were being developed.
The structure represents French maritime engineering excellence and stands as a testament to the nation's commitment to protecting seafarers through advanced naval technologies.
The lighthouse sits on rocky terrain that requires walking to reach, and weather conditions can be harsh in this exposed location. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for wind and spray from the sea.
The tower has kept much of its original 19th-century design, showing how lighthouse builders worked back then. Despite its age, it now uses modern navigation systems to continue helping ships find their way.
