Capo Miseno Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Capo Miseno) is an active lighthouse located at the end of the promontory, with the same name, that marks the north-western limit of the Gulf of Naples as well as the Gulf of Pozzuoli toward the Tyrrhenian Sea in the province of Naples.
Description
The first lighthouse was built in 1869, than rebuilt in 1953. It consists of a white cylindrical tower, 12 feet (3.7 m) high, with balcony and lantern, attached to the seaward corner of a 2-storey white keeper's house. The lantern, painted in grey metallic, is positioned at 80 metres (260 ft) above sea level and emits two white flashes in a 10 seconds period, visible up to a distance of 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated, powered by a solar unit and is operated by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2402 E.F.[2]
