Castello Normanno Lighthouse (Italian: Faro delCastello Normanno) is an active lighthouse located in Castellammare del Golfo at the northern extremity of the tip of the harbour.

Description[]

The lighthouse was activated in 1901 and consists of a concrete equipment construction, 4 metres (13 ft) high, atop a mediaeval fortification. The white lantern is positioned on the flat roof of the building at 19 metres (62 ft) above sea level and emits two white flashes in a 10 seconds period, visible up to a distance of 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated, powered by a solar unit and is operated by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2922 E.F.[2]
