Capo Murro di Porco Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Capo Murro di Porco) is an active lighthouse located at the end of the Maddalena Peninsula [it] on the south eastern tip of Sicily in the Area marina protetta Plemmirio [it], municipality of Siracusa on the Ionian Sea.

Description

The lighthouse, built in 1859 under the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, consists of a concrete tapered decagonal tower, 20 metres (66 ft) high, with balcony and lantern attached to 1-storey keeper's house. No longer inhabited but it was recently awarded by the state property agency for development in lighthouse accommodated to the privates, the "Beacon Hope - Lighthouse Resort", founded by the local entrepreneur Sebastian Cortese. The tower and the lantern are white; the lantern dome is grey metallic. The lantern is positioned at 34 metres (112 ft) above sea level and emits one white flash in a 5 seconds period visible up to a distance of 17 nautical miles (31 km; 20 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated and managed by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2910 E.F.[2]

In December 2020, a photo taken by photographer Kevin Saragozza of the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in the background of the lighthouse, was chosen as the "Photo of the Day" by NASA for the Astronomy Picture of the Day.[3][4]
