Far del cap de la Nau, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Xàbia, Spain.

The white tower lighthouse stands 120 meters above sea level on the limestone cliffs of Cap de la Nau, marking the easternmost point of Valencia.

Constructed in 1855, this maritime structure has guided vessels through the Mediterranean waters between the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands for over 160 years.

The lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of the Alicante province, where generations of keepers maintained this vital navigation point for seafarers.

The lighthouse beam reaches 22 nautical miles into the Mediterranean Sea, providing essential navigation guidance for commercial and recreational vessels along the Costa Blanca.

Located at the precise point where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Gulf of Valencia, the structure overlooks the Cova dels Orgues, a sea cave beneath the cliffs.
