Fuencaliente Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at southern tip of La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain
The white cylindrical concrete tower with two red horizontal bands rises 24 meters high above the volcanic coastline of La Palma island.
The original lighthouse from 1903 sustained earthquake damage in 1939, leading to its reconstruction before the current structure began operation in 1985.
Two lighthouses mark this location where forty Jesuit martyrs perished in 1570, commemorated by underwater crosses and a memorial monument.
The lighthouse emits three white flashes every 18 seconds from its position 36 meters above sea level to guide maritime navigation.
Adjacent salt flats create patterns of white crystalline formations against black volcanic rock, designated as a Site of Scientific Interest.
