Phare de Porquerolles, Historical lighthouse on Porquerolles Island, France.

The Porquerolles lighthouse stands 84 meters above sea level and projects a white light visible up to 54 kilometers across the Mediterranean Sea.

Built in 1823 on the southern tip of the island, this lighthouse survived World War II thanks to the decisive action of its keeper Joseph Pellegrino.

The lighthouse embodies Mediterranean maritime heritage and serves as an essential navigational reference point for vessels in Provençal waters.

While the lighthouse grounds are closed to the public, visitors can view the structure from the lighthouse promenade in Porquerolles, Hyères.

This lighthouse ranks among the most powerful in the Mediterranean and offers views of the Langoustier hills, Fort Sainte Agathe, and southern cliffs.
