About Voltri Breakwater Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower stands 13 meters tall, with its focal plane at 16 meters above sea level. Painted white, it features a green band at the gallery level. The lighthouse marks the western extremity of the detached breakwater at Voltri, guiding vessels toward the commercial harbor located about 11 kilometers west of Genova. Its light displays an occulting white or green signal, with a 2-second cycle, visible for up to 12.2 nautical miles. The structure comprises a round concrete tower with a lantern and gallery.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for commercial vessels navigating the breakwater's western boundary and entering the active port of Voltri, west of Genova. Its distinct light characteristic aids mariners in precise directional guidance.
