The Revellata lighthouse, also called the Gulf of Calvi lighthouse, marks the northwest coast of the French island of Corsica, from the Gulf of Galéria (south) to the coasts of Agriates (east).

Situation:

The lighthouse is located at the tip of Revellata, the eponymous peninsula in the town of Calvi in Haute-Corse. It is accessible by a track starting from the D81b road between Calvi and Luzzipeo, above the Recisa cove.

Historical:

The island's illumination program had not been studied in 1825 by Augustin Fresnel. It was in 1838 that it was decided to build five first-class lighthouses to encircle the island. The first will be that of the Sanguinaires Islands to the southwest. It will be followed by those of Pertusato and Chiappa to the south; finally the Revellata lighthouse to the west, before the Giraglia lighthouse to the north.

The lighthouse was built in 1838, the port of Calvi taking off.

It was lit on December 1, 1844: fixed white light. It then works with vegetable oil.

The fire was replaced in 1906 by a fire with 2 white flashes every 10 seconds (fuel: petroleum vapour).

Current headlight:

The current lighthouse is a house-lighthouse (square tower, centered on a rectangular base). It is in masonry stone, with smooth coating and exposed stone angles.

It is now automated and remotely controlled from Bastia.

It is equipped with a beacon audible over 100 miles.

Very nice there. The building itself is fenced and locked.
