    The Pietra lighthouse marks the entrance to the north-west coast of Corsica. This is the end of your visit to the island of La Pietra and you can admire a magnificent view of the hinterland and the coast of Balagne. A beautiful walk!

      It dates from the 3rd quarter of the nineteenth century, the time of the reign of Napoleon III. It is located on the highest point of the island of La Pietra, connected by a link to L'Ile-Rousse. It signals the entrance to the north-west coast of Corsica. The so-called "Pietra" lighthouse is part of the second wave of installations that have disappeared in Corsica, along with that of Ajaccio in particular.
      The current lighthouse is a square tower with a square base in the center, made of smooth masonry, painted white, with a lantern painted green. Attached to it is a small security house powered by solar panels and automated.
