Punta Torre Canne Lighthouse
Punta Torre Canne Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Punta Torre Canne) is an active lighthouse in the homonymous village in the municipality of Fasano. The place takes the name from an ancient coastal tower built in the 16th century to protect the coast from the Turks, and from the presence of giant cane. The lighthouse was built in 1929 in concrete and has a tapered octagonal prism with balcony and lantern attached to 1-storey keeper’s house; the tower and the building are white painted. The tower is 32 metres (105 ft) high and the lantern is positioned at an height of 35 metres (115 ft) above sea level. The light is fully automated and operated by Marina Militare identified by the Country code number 3688 E.F. The lighthouse emits two white flashes in a ten seconds period visible up to 16 nautical miles (30 km; 18 mi).
