Punta Tagliamento Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Bibione, Italy
Punta Tagliamento Lighthouse is a 21-meter-tall concrete tower on the Adriatic coast featuring a white cylindrical structure with a viewing platform and lantern room. The structure stands at the mouth of the Tagliamento River where maritime traffic passes regularly.
Built in 1913 at the river mouth, the structure was established to mark the northern boundary of the Italian Kingdom. Reconstruction took place after World War I, and today protective barriers defend it from coastal erosion.
Since summer 2021 the keeper's house has hosted "Storie di LuMe - Luce e Memorie", an exhibition on the lighthouse's own history, alongside a multimedia display on the Friulian-speaking minority of eastern Veneto created under the PRIMIS project. The restored two-storey building, reopened in June 2015, is also used for cultural events and weddings.
The site is accessible and offers viewing opportunities across the Adriatic coastline and river delta below. Visit during daytime hours to best appreciate the surrounding landscape and the structure itself.
