Situated on the northeastern coast of Pantelleria, the Punta Spadillo Lighthouse was built at the end of the 1800s and represents one of the main visual landmarks in the Strait of Sicily. The cylindrical masonry tower rises from the Mediterranean scrub and overlooks the open sea, set within a highly evocative landscape. During World War II, the area was fortified with bunkers and casemates, still visible along the trails. Nearby are the Volcanological Museum and the Laghetto delle Ondine, two significant stops that enrich the visitor’s experience.
