Punta Pioppeto Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Punta Pioppeto) is an active lighthouse located on the northernmost promontory of Procida, Campania on the Tyrrhenian Sea.




Description


The lighthouse was built in 1849 and consisted of 1-storey octagonal base keeper's house, now in a state of completely disuse and devastation, since the last keeper left and the lighthouse was automated. The active lighthouse is a post atop a 1-storey equipment white building, 10 feet (3.0 m) high, located in a higher position. The light is positioned at 21 metres (69 ft) above sea level and emits three white flashes in a 10 seconds period, visible up to a distance of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated and operated by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2358 E.F.
