Punta de Arinaga Lighthouse, Maritime beacon at Punta de Arinaga, Gran Canaria, Spain
The cylindrical masonry tower stands 14 meters tall on a rocky headland, displaying distinctive red and white horizontal bands visible from the sea.
The first lighthouse structure was completed in 1897 as part of the maritime lighting plan for the Canary Islands, designed by architect Juan León y Castillo.
The original lighthouse building has been restored and converted into a restaurant serving Canarian-Mediterranean cuisine, maintaining its architectural heritage.
The current lighthouse operates independently using solar panels to charge its batteries, projecting three flashes every ten seconds visible for 12 nautical miles.
Three different lighthouse structures have occupied this location, with the lamp from the original 1897 structure being incorporated into the current tower.
