About Santa Maria di Leuca Mole Lighthouse
Also known as: Santa Maria di Leuca Mole (Molo Sopraflutto)
This 6-meter round concrete post is painted in a bold black and white checkerboard pattern and stands 9 meters above the water. It marks the end of the outer breakwater for the marina at Castrignano del Capo. The light emits a single green flash every 5 seconds and has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles. In 2020, the post fell over and required repairs. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The light's distinctive pattern serves as a visual identifier for vessels entering the marina at Santa Maria di Leuca, ensuring safe passage for local fishing boats and recreational craft.
