LIGHTHOUSES
The lighthouses in Sardinia are true architectural gems set in breathtaking landscapes. Located along rugged coastlines, on rocky promontories, or on remote islands, these lighthouses are not only essential tools for navigation but also symbols of history and tradition. Built mainly between the 19th and 20th centuries, many of them feature stone or brick structures, often painted white with red or black details to enhance visibility. Today, some Sardinian lighthouses have been renovated and transformed into charming tourist accommodations or cultural centers, offering a unique experience that combines nature, history, and tranquility.

CAPO COMINO LIGHTHOUSE
Location: Eastern Sardinia, near the town of Siniscola.
Located at the northern tip of a sandy cape, Capo Comino is relatively secluded. The lighthouse stands near pristine beaches and is surrounded by dunes and forests. It's less accessible, making it a hidden gem for those looking to explore Sardinia's quieter, wilder side.
ISOLA DEI CAVOLI LIGHTHOUSE
Location: Near the southeastern tip of Sardinia, off the coast of Villasimius.
This lighthouse is located on a small island, which is a protected nature reserve. It’s only reachable by boat, so many visitors miss it while exploring the main tourist areas. The lighthouse is surrounded by crystal-clear waters, offering a peaceful escape from more touristy spots.
PORTO CONTE LIGHTHOUSE
Location: Capo Caccia, near Alghero in northwestern Sardinia.
Is an active lighthouse located on a promontory, halfway on the east side of the bay of Porto Conte, opposite to Capo Caccia Lighthouse and west of Alghero on the Sea of Sardinia.
Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and part of a protected natural park, it’s a key landmark in a region known for its breathtaking scenery and maritime history.
