Capo Mele, Mediterranean promontory between Andora and Laigueglia, Italy
The Capo Mele promontory extends into the Ligurian Sea with steep cliffs on its eastern side and a gentler slope on the western section.
The promontory earned its name from ancient windmills that once operated along its ridge, known historically as 'capo delle Mole' in Italian.
The small settlement of Colla Micheri on the ridge became the residence of Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, connecting local and international maritime traditions.
Multiple walking paths cross the promontory, leading to the lighthouse at 220 meters elevation while offering views of the Ligurian coastline.
The weather station at Capo Mele serves as a reference point for maritime navigation and collects meteorological data for the western Ligurian region.
