It features a square skeletal tower topped with a lantern and gallery, with its focal plane at 18 meters above the water. The light emits a single red flash every 4 seconds, visible for 12.7 nautical miles. This operational lighthouse guides vessels into the port of Genova, located 4.3 kilometers away. While the tower is closed to the public, the site itself is accessible.
