Cap Sicié Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Cap Sicié Lighthouse
A square cylindrical stone tower, 17 meters high, stands at Cap Sicié, a promontory southwest of Toulon. It is attached to a one-story stone keeper's house and features a lantern and gallery. The lighthouse's focal plane reaches 47 meters, casting a white light with two flashes every six seconds. This structure is situated above the point of the cape, which juts into the Mediterranean Sea. The site, historically a location for a sémaphore and military installations, is accessible, but the tower remains closed to the public. The nearest port is Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, located 3.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns mariners of the Cap Sicié promontory. Its enduring function at a historically strategic point, where a sémaphore once operated, underscores its navigational value.
