Chipiona Lighthouse, Tallest lighthouse in Spain at Chipiona, Cádiz.

The stone lighthouse rises 62 meters above ground level, featuring a tapered cylindrical tower with distinctive architectural elements at its coastal location.

Construction began in 1863 under engineers Jaime Font and Canuto Corroza, with the first illumination occurring on November 28, 1867.

The structure stands as a primary reference point for the maritime community, marking the entrance to the Guadalquivir River, Spain's only navigable waterway.

Visitors need to book tours through the Chipiona Tourist Office and climb 322 steps to reach the observation platform at the top.

The lighthouse serves both maritime and aerial navigation purposes, with its halogen lamp producing flashes every ten seconds visible up to thirty nautical miles.
