In the bay of Calamosca stands the majestic Sant'Elia Lighthouse, whose history dates back to 1850. Built by the finest engineers of the Royal Civil Engineering Office, it was activated in 1860 after ten years of construction. The two-story building is topped by a cylindrical tower with white and black stripes that elegantly dominates the coast.
The rotating optics ensure a luminous range of 21 nautical miles. Electrified in 1937, the lighthouse today represents an important symbol of the beauty and history of Sardinia, offering a spectacular view of the surrounding sea from its tower.
