About Rt Velo Dance Lighthouse
This white stone cylindrical lighthouse stands on the southwestern tip of Korčula island. The structure, which is 6 meters tall and made of stone, features an octagonal base and a gallery. Its light emits a white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 12 meters, providing a geographic range of 11 nautical miles. The lighthouse site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. It is located in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, southwest of Vela Luka, near the nearest port which is 3.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for guiding vessels around the southwestern headland of Korčula, an area that can be hazardous in adverse weather conditions. Its light helps define the island's contour for navigation, particularly for craft entering or leaving Vela Luka.
