Brucoli Lighthouse

The Brucoli Lighthouse stands five meters tall as a concrete octagonal structure painted white with a distinctive red stripe around its perimeter.

Built in 1911, this lighthouse has guided maritime navigation along Sicily's southeastern coast for over a century, serving as a crucial beacon for the busy Mediterranean shipping corridor.

Located near the 15th-century Aragonese castle of Regina Giovanna, the lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Sicily and the historical importance of coastal navigation in the region.

The lighthouse emits a white flash every five seconds visible up to eleven nautical miles away, with its focal height of 13 meters providing reliable navigation assistance to approaching vessels.

In 2017, the adjacent lighthouse keeper's building was converted into luxury tourist accommodation, transforming this historical maritime structure into an exclusive seaside retreat with panoramic views.
