Punta Moscarter Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on northern coast of Ibiza, Spain
Punta Moscarter Lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower with a black and white spiral pattern on its exterior and a grey lantern room at the top. The structure stands roughly 52 meters tall, with its light source positioned about 93 meters above sea level.
Construction started in 1975 and the tower became operational in November 1978 after roughly three years of building. It was built during a time when modern automated systems were replacing the traditional need for lighthouse keepers.
The lighthouse is known in Catalan as Far des Moscarter and in Spanish as Faro de Punta Moscarter. Its single white flash, emitted every five seconds, is visible up to 18 nautical miles away, and the light sits 93 metres above sea level. The site is closed to visitors and managed by Puertos del Estado together with the Autoritat Portuària de Balears.
