Constructed in 1905, the Isola di San Domino lighthouse is an octagonal cylindrical masonry tower standing 9 meters tall. It is centered on the roof of a 1-story keeper's house. The lighthouse marks the safe passage south of the island group from its location on the southwestern point of Isola di San Domino.
