Global InformationVaccarecce lighthouse information
The Vaccarecce lighthouse or ancient Giglio lighthouse is a lighthouse in the Tyrrhenian Sea designed in 1830 and completed sometime in the 1850s. The lighthouse is no longer operational. The structure is situated on a hill to the north of the village of Giglio Castello in the Italian municipal area Isola del Giglio on the island of Giglio.[1] It is a maritime lighthouse but was originally used to light the island.[2]
The masonry lighthouse complex includes an octagonal[verification needed] tower atop of a rectangular building. The tower has three floors and includes a wraparound balcony and a terrace at the top (former base of the now-lost lantern).[1]
