Santa Pola Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse at Cape Santa Pola, Spain
The white cylindrical tower stands 15 meters tall atop limestone cliffs, reaching a total elevation of 138 meters above the Mediterranean Sea.
The lighthouse began operations in 1858, replacing a 16th-century watchtower that protected the coast from maritime threats and guided naval vessels.
The structure maintains its original purpose of maritime safety while drawing visitors who explore the surrounding trails and observe local paragliding activities.
The lighthouse remains operational with automated systems, projecting light signals visible up to 27 nautical miles during clear weather conditions.
A 100-meter metal skywalk installed in 2015 extends from the cliff edge, providing views toward Tabarca Island and the mountains of Alicante.
