La Plata lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Pasaia, Spain
The La Plata lighthouse stands 13 meters tall on the Basque coastline, with a focal height of 153 meters above sea level, guiding ships in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Constructed in 1855 by builder Francisco Lafarga, the lighthouse incorporates historicist architectural elements that reflect multiple traditional building styles of the period.
The lighthouse bears two official names, Faro de La Plata in Spanish and Platako itsasargia in Basque, representing the bilingual heritage of the region.
Ships traveling along the coast rely on the lighthouse's distinct light pattern and 13 nautical mile range for safe navigation through the waters of the Bay of Biscay.
The lighthouse holds heritage designation number 1715 from the Basque government and maintains operational status under Spain's Ministry of Development maritime network.
