About Portofino Lighthouse
Constructed in 1917, this cylindrical masonry tower measures 12 meters in height and is situated on a steep promontory overlooking the town of Portofino. The lighthouse, operational since 1917, features a white light with a characteristic of Fl W 5s. Its focal height is 40 meters, providing a visible range of 17.1 nautical miles. The building consists of a square tower with a lantern and gallery, joined to a two-story keeper's dwelling. While the site is accessible to visitors, the tower is not.

Why it matters: This navigation aid marks the headland at the entry to Portofino's protected harbor, assisting vessels navigating the promontory.
