Capo Spartivento Calabro Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Palizzi, Italy.
The lighthouse stands 15 meters tall with a square prism masonry tower, featuring a balcony and lantern on the seaside front of a white keeper's house.
The Capo Spartivento Calabro Lighthouse, constructed in 1867, has guided vessels through the Ionian Sea waters for over 150 years from its strategic position.
This Italian national heritage site represents the maritime traditions of Calabria while serving as a vital reference point for navigation in the Mediterranean region.
The automated lighthouse emits a white flash every 8 seconds from its grey metallic lantern, positioned 63 meters above sea level with visibility reaching 24 nautical miles.
Located at Italy's southeastern extremity, this lighthouse combines its essential maritime function with architectural elements that reflect 19th-century engineering precision.
