About Diga Settentrionale Lighthouse
The Diga Settentrionale lighthouse is a 12-meter cylindrical concrete tower situated at the end of Augusta's north breakwater. Its focal height is also 12 meters, and it emits a green light. The characteristic of the light is a single green flash every 10 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The structure comprises a round concrete tower mounted on a conical concrete pier. The lighthouse is operational, with the site open to the public but the tower itself closed. It is located 0.8 kilometers from the nearest port of Augusta.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for vessels approaching or departing the port of Augusta, clearly delineating the northern extent of the harbor's protective breakwater. Its distinct green light sequence prevents collisions with the submerged structure, ensuring the smooth flow of maritime traffic in a busy shipping lane.
