About Corigliano Calabro Lighthouse

This octagonal concrete lighthouse stands on the south quay of Porto di Corigliano, a harbor on Italy's Ionian coast. The unpainted structure, which includes a lantern and gallery, reaches a focal height of 20 meters. Its light can be white, red, or green. The lighthouse was listed by the Admiralty in November 2013 but was delisted six weeks later. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself is closed.

Why it matters: The lighthouse's brief, unexplained appearance and subsequent delisting from Admiralty charts in 2013 makes it a unique maritime curiosity. It serves as a visual landmark for vessels approaching the Porto di Corigliano.
