Cape Cavalleria Lighthouse, Lighthouse on the Cavallería cape in es Mercadal, Menorca, Spain

Faro de Caballería stands on the Cabo de Cavallería on Menorca's north coast, about 6 km from Fornells in the municipality of Es Mercadal. It is one of four lighthouses designed by Antonio López y Montalvo and the only one still active without major changes. The white tower rises above the cape, and the light emits two white flashes every 10 seconds with a nominal range of 22 nautical miles.

Designed by Antonio López y Montalvo, the lighthouse entered service in 1857 with a second-order fixed-light lens from the Sautter house. Over 700 shipwrecks had occurred off this coast since the 14th century, and further losses later led to the building of the Favàritx and Punta Nati lighthouses. It is the only one of his four lighthouses still active without major alterations.

The cape takes its name from the Catalan "Cavalleria", linked to the nearby village of Es Mercadal and its maritime past. The lighthouse is managed by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands from the port of Alcúdia, and its light still marks the route for boats crossing the north coast of Menorca.

Access is available from late spring through autumn when the visitor center is open. It is advisable to bring water and wear sturdy shoes, as the road is unpaved and the area can be very windy and exposed.

The lamp emits two flashes every 10 seconds, a signal visible to ships far out at sea. The lighthouse was also the last place in the Balearics to use kerosene lamps for navigation before switching to modern systems.
