Faro di Capo Spartivento, Maritime lighthouse at Cape Spartivento, Sardinia, Italy.

The white cylindrical tower rises 19 meters above a two-story keeper's house, featuring a balcony and lantern at the southern tip of Sardinia.

Constructed in 1866 to guide vessels through the Mediterranean waters, the lighthouse marks the boundary between the Gulf of Teulada and Gulf of Cagliari.

The tower structure represents Italian maritime architectural traditions and continues to function as an essential navigational beacon for Mediterranean shipping routes.

The automated lighthouse emits two white flashes every 10 seconds, with its light positioned 81 meters above sea level and visible up to 22 nautical miles.

Following a 2006 restoration, the lighthouse complex incorporates a luxury resort with four guest suites and a swimming pool next to the original building.
