About Portici Lighthouse
Also known as: Portici (Granatello)
This metal, cylindrical lighthouse, first lit in 1889, stands 14 meters tall and emits a white flash every 3 seconds. Its silver-colored screening contrasts with the structure described as a square cylindrical skeletal tower with a gallery. The focal height of the light is 16 meters, providing a geographic range of 12.2 nautical miles. Located at the end of the quay in Portici, it sits on the southeastern edge of Naples. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.
Why it matters: The Portici lighthouse guides maritime traffic to and from the quay, contributing to safe navigation for vessels approaching the southeastern edge of Naples.
