About Porto di Corigliano North Mole Lighthouse

The Porto di Corigliano North Mole light is a 6-meter concrete tower located at the end of the south mole of an artificial harbor. It stands 15 meters above sea level and exhibits a green flash every 3 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The cylindrical structure, which features a lantern and gallery, was painted green in 2012. This update provided a more distinct appearance for the navigation aid. The site is open to the public, though access to the tower itself is restricted.

Why it matters: This light guides vessels entering the artificial Porto di Corigliano, specifically marking the south mole to prevent collisions with the harbor's infrastructure.
