Capo Zafferano Lighthouse

Capo Zafferano Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located at the extreme tip of the homonimy promontory, under a steep ridge, that marks the eastern entrance to the port of Palermo. The lighthouse is in the municipality of Santa Flavia on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The lighthouse was built in 1884 and when the Marina Militare automated it the keeper's house was abandoned and went entirely in ruin due to negligence and vandalic raids. In 2016 the Agenzia del Demanio, who run the State ownership buildings including the lighthouses, decided to give it in concession with a request for tenders to a private for 50 years. .The lighthouse has been awarded to a company involved in the restoration, headed by a local Chef, will become a multifunctional structure with a taste shop, a restaurant, three suites and a Museum of the Sea.
