Catching up a bit here with a Lighthouse of the Week post that's a bit late, but it's a good one. This is the Phare de Pertusato, located on a very southern point of the island of Corsica, such that at some angles of photography mountains on the island of Sardinia are visible.
Here's what the Lighthouse Directory provides about it:
"1844. Active; focal plane 100 m (328 ft); two white flashes every 10 s. 17 m (56 ft) square cylindrical masonry tower with lantern and gallery, rising from the center of a square 1-story masonry keeper's house. The lighthouse is painted white with black trim outlining the corners of the tower and building; lantern and gallery painted black."
So yes, it's been there awhile, and it's in a fabulous location, complete with sea-sculpted coastal formations and clear blue-green Mediterranean waters. See the illustrations below.
