Far de la Savina, lighthouse in Spain
Far de la Savina is a beacon located on the island of Formentera off the Spanish coast. The white stone structure stands on a rocky point and guides maritime traffic passing through the strait with its rotating light.
The beacon was built in the 19th century to warn ships of the dangerous waters between Formentera and Ibiza. It is part of a network of lighthouses that protected maritime traffic around the Balearic Islands.
The beacon sits at the northern tip of Formentera and is best visited in clear weather when views are unobstructed. A path winds around the rocks at the base of the structure, offering photo opportunities and vistas across the water.
The beacon remains one of the oldest functioning navigation aids in the region and continues to guide real maritime traffic today. Its powerful light is visible even from Ibiza and has served seafarers for generations as a crucial landmark.
