[2] The masonry lighthouse complex includes an octagonal[verification needed] tower atop of a rectangular building.
The tower has three floors and includes a wraparound balcony and a terrace at the top (former base of the now-lost lantern).
Attempts were mad to have the structure light the entire island but this proved impossible given its focal plane was too high.

[4][5] The compound is now residential and includes galleries, historical private lodging, and several estate gardens and surrounded by grape vines and pine woods.
