Barletta Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Barletta) is an inactive lighthouse located in the harbour of Barletta, in Apulia on the Adriatic Sea. It was inaugurated by Joseph Bonaparte in the 1807[1]
Description
The lighthouse was one of the first to be built in the Adriatic, thanks to the resourcefulness of Joseph Bonaparte, king of Naples in 1807 and founder of the new Barletta lighthouse. The lighthouse is located in the internal port of Barletta and is located 15 above sea level. Next to it stands the lighthouse, built in the early 1900s. The lighthouse remained in operation until 1950, when it was replaced by the new lighthouse[1]. Restoration works are underway to make it accessible to tourists[2].
