Capo Miseno Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Capo Miseno) is an active lighthouse located at the end of the promontory, with the same name, that marks the north-western limit of the Gulf of Naples as well as the Gulf of Pozzuoli toward the Tyrrhenian Sea in the province of Naples.
It consists of a white cylindrical tower, 12 feet (3.7 m) high, with balcony and lantern, attached to the seaward corner of a 2-storey white keeper's house.
The lantern, painted in grey metallic, is positioned at 80 metres (260 ft) above sea level and emits two white flashes in a 10 seconds period, visible up to a distance of 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi).
The lighthouse is completely automated, powered by a solar unit and is operated by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 2402 E.F.[2]
