Tavolara Island had a strategic importance in 1861. Merchant Navy built
with the cooperation of the prisoners on the island at the time, at
Spalmatore di Fuori, a lighthouse of 2 floors.
The lighthouse was
built on the mountain falls steeply to the sea and it was therefore
necessary to develop a narrow winding road to reach it, which partially
altered the natural landscape of the island.
The lighthouse was active until 1920, when it was replaced by the advanced Timone.

L'île de Tavolara a eu une grande importance stratégique en 1861. La
Marine Marchande construisit, avec la coopération des détenus présents
sur l'île à l'époque, à Spalmatore di Fuori, un phare de 2 étages.
Le
phare fut construit sur la montagne qui tombe à pic sur la mer et il
fut alors nécessaire d'aménager une route tortueuse et étroite pour
pouvoir l'atteindre, ce qui modifiait partiellement le paysage naturel
de l'île.
Le phare fut actif jusqu'en 1920, date à laquelle il fut remplacé par celui de pointe Timone.
