I just found out about this place - and apparently its one of the most expensive places you can own land on in Europe. (Funny me, I thought that was Monaco and Cap Ferrat, but what do I know?) This is the Gallura coastline of northern Sardinia, where granite is shaped like plastic. And it has awesome beaches, too: 10 beaches near Santa Teresa di Gallura.
It also has a lighthouse. The name of the lighthouse is the Capo Testo (or Testa, I'm not sure) lighthouse. As one could expect, there are quite a few pictures of it, because it's near one of those great beaches.
Specifications from the Lighthouse Directory:
1845 (modernized in 1955). Active; focal plane 67 m (220 ft); two white flashes every 12 s. 23 m (75 ft) square cylindrical masonry tower with lantern, round watch room, and two galleries, rising from a 2-story masonry keeper's house.Oh yeah, you have to see where it is! The map.
This handsome lighthouse stands on a steep headland on a promontory connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus. It marks the northern tip of Sardinia and the western entrance to the Strait of Bonifacio.
And of course, the pictures. Six of them.
