HISTORY

The Capo-Spartivento Lighthouse is an architecture of light, which for over 160 years has illuminated the paths of sailors. The conservative restoration work of the building was a process of skilful renovation of the spaces, which lasted eight years. Preserving its historical memory, the Lighthouse has acquired the charm of a minimal Mediterranean style in which environment, architecture and tourism meet. The entire building is enriched in value with the principles of green building, thanks to which the structure is managed in an almost completely self-sufficient way. Stone, granite, basalt, wrought iron and wood are the materials from which the internal lines and external profiles are made. Photovoltaic panels produce electricity and a desalination plant purifies seawater for the functions of the property. A phytoremediation plant enables the recovery of waste water to water the garden.
