About Postira Lighthouse
Built in 1885, the Postira Lighthouse is a 6-meter-high stone tower situated at the end of the breakwater mole in Postira, Croatia, on the north coast of Otok Brač. The cylindrical tower is topped by a red dome, from which a red light flashes once every 2 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. The tower stands 7 meters above sea level. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the end of the breakwater mole, guiding local maritime traffic, including fishing vessels and pleasure craft, into Postira's harbor.
