About Rocchetta Pilot Tower Lighthouse
Also known as: Rocchetta Pilot Tower (Malamocco Entrance)
The Rocchetta Pilot Tower is a cylindrical concrete structure standing 35 meters tall, located within the Malamocco entrance channel northwest of Venice. It supports an octagonal control room and a square platform equipped with a radar antenna. The tower emits a green flashing light that cycles every 3 seconds, with a geographic range of 15.3 nautical miles. A concrete block equipment shelter is part of its construction. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed. It is situated about 6 kilometers from the nearest port in Venezia.
Why it matters: This tower is indispensable for maritime safety, guiding vessels through the Malamocco entrance channel, a critical artery for traffic entering the Venice Lagoon. Its modern design represents a sophisticated navigational and pilotage facility.
