Summary
| Description |
My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know. Thanks This lighthouse was built in 1884, it is 37m (121ft) high, it use to be 42m (138ft). It was shortened after it was damaged after a earthquake and tsunami in 1908, which destroyed 90% of the buildings in Messina and killed more than 100,000 people. It is a octagonal masonry tower with lantern and gallery, rising from a one story masonry keeper's house. This lighthouse marks the extreme northeastern tip of Sicily and the west side entrance to the Strait of Messina from the Tyrrhenian Sea. |
