Bari Light, Maritime lighthouse in Bari, Italy.
Bari Light is an octagonal stone tower rising 62 meters from a two-story base building at the harbor. The structure features a white exterior with a grey lantern dome on top and six windows positioned toward the sea.
Built in 1869, the tower was an important advancement in maritime technology for vessels entering Bari's port. Its construction was part of a broader expansion of Italy's coastal navigation infrastructure during that era.
The lighthouse serves as a familiar landmark for Bari residents and has shaped the harbor's identity for generations. Visitors can sense its importance to the city when walking through the old town and waterfront areas.
The structure remains an active navigation aid visible from the water and recognizable from various points along the harbor. The best spots for viewing and photographing it are from the waterfront paths and harbor areas around Bari.
The automated beacon flashes three white lights every 20 seconds, visible for up to 24 nautical miles across the Adriatic Sea. These regular signals have guided mariners safely through one of southern Europe's busiest sea routes.
