About Savona Province Lighthouses Lighthouse
This lighthouse was built in 1883 and first lit in the same year. The white, cylindrical masonry tower stands 34 meters tall, with its focal plane at 43 meters above sea level. Its unusual design features an octagonal tower attached to all three floors of a 3-story keeper's house. Located near Vado Ligure, the lighthouse is situated on Capo di Vado, a cape approximately 40 km west of Genova. The light emits a single white flash every 15 seconds, visible for 17.6 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: It marks the Capo di Vado cape and guides vessels into the Porto di Vado. The lighthouse's distinctive architecture, with the tower unusually integrated into the keeper's house, makes it a notable landmark.
