Scilla Lighthouse (Template:Lang-it) is a lighthouse in Reggio Calabria, southern Italy. It is located on a terrace of Castello Ruffo di Scilla, on the Strait of Messina, and is important in directing ships onto the Strait from the north.

Built in 1913, it has a small cylindrical tower, 6 feet high, painted white with a black base. At the top is the lantern surrounded by the gallery. The lighthouse has a focal plane of 72 metres.[1]
