Description
The lighthouse, built in 1859 under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, consists of a concrete tapered decagonal tower, Шаблон:Convert high, with balcony and lantern attached to 1-storey keeper's house. No longer inhabited but it was recently awarded by the state property agency for development in lighthouse accommodated to the privates, the "Beacon Hope - Lighthouse Resort", founded by the local entrepreneur Sebastian Cortese. The tower and the lantern are white; the lantern dome is grey metallic.
