Peniscola lighthouse, Lighthouse on Mediterranean cliffs in Peniscola, Spain.

The white cylindrical structure rises 11 meters from its position on the rocky promontory, standing at an elevation of 56 meters above the Mediterranean Sea.

The maritime navigation aid has guided vessels along the Spanish Mediterranean coast since its construction and first operation in 1899.

The lighthouse forms part of the maritime heritage of Peniscola, alongside the medieval Templar castle and traditional fishing activities of the region.

The structure maintains its original function while providing views across three provinces: Castellón, Tarragona, and Valencia from its clifftop position.
