The Lighthouse of Gallipoli is a tower built on a two-story building on Sant'Andrea Island, opposite the historic center of the town.\n\nBuilt in 1866, it has always been in operation. Originally, it was equipped with a six-flashing device, with a light beam reaching two nautical miles. At the end of 2005, following intervention by the Undersecretariat of Defense, major renovation work was carried out, and the new system came into operation on March 26, 2006. Its current range is almost 20 nautical miles.
