About Caorle Lighthouse
Completed in 1917, the Caorle lighthouse stands on a promontory at the eastern edge of the town's waterfront. This concrete structure, measuring 20 meters in height, features a square tower topped with an octagonal steeple. Its light emits a single white flash every 6 seconds. The lighthouse's foundation is protected by a curved seawall, implemented to combat erosion that threatened the site. Visitors can access the grounds, but the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the promontory at the eastern end of Caorle, aiding approaches to the local port. Its distinct architectural style, a square tower with an octagonal steeple and a light mounted on a bracket, makes it a recognizable landmark.
