About Vieste Lighthouse
Also known as: Vieste (Isola Santa Eufemia)
This cylindrical stone lighthouse, built in 1867, stands 27 meters tall on the island of Isola Sant'Eufemia, just off the coast of Vieste. Its lantern and gallery rise from a two-story keeper's house, all constructed of white stone. The focal height of the light is 40 meters above sea level. It emits a white light, characterized by a single white flash every 15 seconds, visible for a geographic range of 17.1 nautical miles. The lighthouse has been operational since its construction in 1867 and is located at the northeastern tip of the Gargano Peninsula.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns ships away from the Gargano Peninsula, serving as a key navigational reference for shipping in the Adriatic Sea.
