Capo Santa Croce Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located at the extreme tip of the cape, marking the northern end of the Gulf in the municipality of Augusta on the Ionian Sea.
The lighthouse was built in 1859 under the Borbonic, then with the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy the structure passed to the Regia Marina. In 1932 the lighthouse underwent to a restoration. During World War II it was a coastal observation point operated by the Regia Marina; in July 1943 when the area was subjected to bombardment by the British, the Italian staff left the lighthouse. At the end of the war the lighthouse turned to the Marina Militare and the keeper Cuomo got his job back until 1979, when he retired and was no longer replaced as the lighthouse was automated.
