About Canale di San Marco Lighthouse
Also known as: Canale di San Marco (San Servolo)
An octagonal stone tower with a gallery stands 12 meters tall, painted red. It is situated on the south side of the Canale di San Marco, east of San Servolo island, marking the primary channel into central Venice. This lighthouse emits a red flash every 10 seconds. Its light is visible for 9.3 nautical miles. The site is accessible to visitors, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for guiding maritime traffic through the Canale di San Marco, the main access route to central Venice, and helps vessels navigate the complex waterways of the Venetian Lagoon.
