Phare des Îles Lavezzi, Maritime lighthouse in Lavezzi Islands, Bonifacio, France
The white square tower of Phare des Îles Lavezzi rises 12.2 meters high above the southeastern tip of Lavezzi Islands, featuring red horizontal bands on its eastern facade.
Built in 1874 as part of Corsica's second illumination program, this lighthouse was constructed near the site where the ship Sémillante sank in 1855.
The lighthouse serves as a base for the International Marine Park and includes a botanical garden containing 240 plant species native to the Lavezzi Islands.
The structure operates automatically since 1986 using solar panels, projecting white, red, and green sectored lights with two occultations every six seconds.
Located in one of the Mediterranean's most dangerous zones, the lighthouse guides vessels through the strait between Corsica and Sardinia, marked by treacherous reefs and currents.
