The lighthouse was built in 1923 and consists of a one-storey stone square prism building with the tower rising at a corner, 10 feet (3.0 m) high, with embattled parapet and lantern. The lantern painted in white and the dome in grey metallic, is positioned at 42 metres (138 ft) above sea level and emits two long white flashes in a six seconds period, visible up to a distance of 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated and operated by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2660 E.F.[2]
