Isola delle Bisce Lighthouse

The Isola delle Bisce Lighthouse is a small lighthouse located on a tiny islet in the Maddalena archipelago, off the coast of Arzachena in Sardinia, Italy. The lighthouse was built in 1935 and stands at a height of 9 meters (29.5 feet) above the ground. It has a tapered cylindrical shape with a balcony and lantern, and is painted white with a green balcony and a grey metallic lantern dome.

The lighthouse is fully automated and powered by solar energy, and is managed by the Marina Militare, the Italian Navy's maritime authority. It emits a single green flash every 3 seconds, visible for a range of 8 nautical miles. The lighthouse plays a crucial role in guiding ships through the narrow Canale delle Bisce, a channel in the Strait of Bonifacio.

The Isola delle Bisce Lighthouse is an important aid to navigation in the region, and its unique location and design make it a notable landmark in the Maddalena archipelago. Today, it continues to serve as a vital source of guidance for mariners, while also providing a glimpse into the region's rich maritime history.
