Far de Tabarca, Nineteenth-century lighthouse on Tabarca Island, Spain
The 14-meter tall stone lighthouse stands on the northern point of Tabarca Island, marking the entrance to the Mediterranean waters of Alicante.
Built in 1854 on the site of a former watchtower from 1552, the lighthouse continues its maritime safety mission for vessels navigating coastal waters.
The lighthouse forms part of the maritime heritage of the Valencian Community, where Tabarca remains the single inhabited island of the region.
Regular boat services from Santa Pola and Alicante ports transport visitors to Tabarca Island, where the lighthouse stands at walking distance.
The lighthouse area contains remnants of the original defense tower, combining maritime navigation functions with historical military architecture.
