Viareggio Diga Foranea Lighthouse (Italian: Faro di Viareggio diga foranea) is an active lighthouse, located at halfway the breakwater of the dock of Viareggio on the Ligurian Sea.

Description

The lighthouse, built in 1993, consists of a concrete cylindrical tower, 32 metres (105 ft) high, painted white as the balcony and the lantern dome. On the south side of the tower are seven windows lined up in order to light the internal stairs, another window is that of the clock room.
