Punta Carena Lighthouse is a lighthouse, located on the island of Capri
on the head of the same name, about 2 Miles southwest of Anacapri.
The lighthouse has been active since 1867; its construction began in 1862.
It consists of an octagonal brick tower with lantern and gallery,
above a two-story building. The lighthouse was repainted recently and is now
white with red vertical stripes, and the keeper's house in red.
The lighthouse has a rotating view that emits white light flashes every 3 seconds.
The focal plane is located at 73 meters above sea level.
The lighthouse has a range of 25 nautical miles (about 46 km),
and is therefore defined as an offshore lighthouse.
It is a 28 m (92 ft) octagonal masonry tower on a two-story house.
