Cape Cavalleria Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in es Mercadal, Spain.
The Cavalleria lighthouse stands 94 meters above sea level on northern Menorca, with a white tower marked by red horizontal stripes for navigation.
The lighthouse began operations in 1857 following over 700 shipwrecks reported along Menorca's northern coast since the fourteenth century.
The lighthouse marked the final chapter of kerosene-powered navigation in the Balearic Islands, operating with this fuel source until the 1980s.
The lighthouse center welcomes visitors from May through October, with access via a dirt road from Es Mercadal, approximately 13 kilometers away.
Located at Menorca's northernmost point, the lighthouse's lamp sends two flashes every ten seconds, visible from 22 nautical miles at sea.
