About Brindisi Castello a Mare Lighthouse
Also known as: Brindisi Castello a Mare (Castello Aragonese, Castello Alfonsino)
The Brindisi Castello a Mare lighthouse stands on an island now linked to the mainland, serving as the northern anchor for Brindisi harbor's breakwater. Originally established in 1844, its operational history includes periods of inactivity. The current lighthouse is situated on the roof of the historic Castello Alfonsino, a fortress first completed in 1492. The lighthouse emits a white light with one flash every 20 seconds from a focal height of 28 meters. The structure is an hourglass-shaped tower painted with horizontal black and white bands, standing 6 meters tall and visible for 18 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the Brindisi harbor, marking the northern breakwater.
