Built in 1854 by the Italian Navy, the lighthouse testifies to the historical importance of the place, being part of a series of lighthouses commissioned by Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy, as evidenced by the wrought iron initials on the entrance door. Although it suffered damage during World War II, it was later rebuilt. Today, the lighthouse has been transformed into a five-star hotel, offering from its top a spectacular panoramic view of the entire southern coast of Sulcis.

If you approach from the east, from Cala Cipolla, a closed door may initially cause concern, but it is important to know that, although it prevents vehicular traffic, it is open to pedestrians.

The lighthouse is the southernmost point in Sardinia.

The coastal hiking trail leads directly past.

"The lighthouse at Capo Spartivento was built in 1854 by the Italian Navy and was one of twenty royal lighthouses built at the instigation of Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, whose initials are still emblazoned in the wrought iron frieze above the entrance door.

The building came under fire from American airmen during World War II and underwent its first and only restoration at the end of the war.

The beacon keeper's family lived there until the '80s, when automation made the guard obsolete."

Today there is a hotel in the lighthouse.
