San Vito Lo Capo lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, San Vito Lo Capo, Italy.
The white cylindrical tower rises 38 meters above the cliffs, featuring a grey metallic lantern and a balcony at its summit.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1859 during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, marks the maritime route between the Gulf of Macari and Gulf of Castellammare.
The structure represents a cornerstone of Italian maritime navigation, supporting seafarers with its distinct white flash every five seconds across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The lighthouse emits two different signals: a white flash visible up to 25 nautical miles and a red light at 12.5 meters height visible for 6 nautical miles.
The Marina Militare maintains this automated lighthouse, which includes a one-story keeper's house integrated into the front seaside of the tower.
