It is not easy to tell the history of this lighthouse, located on the west end of the pier in the Camogli harbor. It is a small lighthouse, and even if it has a story, it has been lost. In an old photo of Camogli dated 1875 there is no lighthouse, but in a picture taken in the early 1950s, you can see the first lighthouse, a metal pylon with a light on top. This beacon has been destroyed many times by the rough sea and was last rebuilt in the 1970s as a white concrete tower, 11 meters high with a nice lantern room on top. Its geographic coordinates are 44° 21' 1" N, 9° 9' 0" E.
