About Elba Lighthouses Lighthouse
This lighthouse, a gray stone cylindrical tower, stands 8 meters tall and was rebuilt in 1945 after its predecessor was destroyed during World War II. The structure, which includes a lantern and gallery, rises from a small square stone keeper's cottage. It emits a white flash every 8 seconds, with its light visible for 14.1 nautical miles. Situated on an islet approximately 1 kilometer north of Portoferraio, this lighthouse serves the largest of the Tuscan Islands. The nearest port is Marina di Campo, about 0.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for maritime traffic approaching Portoferraio, the main port of Elba, ensuring safe passage for numerous ferries. Its reconstruction after wartime destruction underscores its strategic value and Elba's commitment to maritime safety.
