Favàritx Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Cape Favàritx, Menorca, Spain
The cylindrical concrete tower rises 28 meters high and features black and white spiral bands that stand against the dark slate landscape.
The lighthouse construction started in 1917 following multiple shipwrecks along the northern coast, with completion delayed until 1922 due to funding limitations.
The lighthouse maintains a permanent exhibition about maritime signaling, offering educational visits for schools and groups to learn about navigation history.
From June through September, visitors must use the bus service from Maó station, as private vehicle access remains restricted during summer months.
The structure emits a specific pattern of three light flashes every fifteen seconds, reaching vessels up to twenty-one nautical miles across the Mediterranean Sea.
