Faro de Roche, Maritime lighthouse in Conil de la Frontera, Spain

The Roche Lighthouse stands 20 meters high on the cliffs of Cabo de Roche, providing guidance to vessels navigating the southern Spanish waters.

Built during the sixteenth century as part of the coastal defense system against pirates, the structure was converted into an operational lighthouse in 1984.

The lighthouse holds the status of Cultural Heritage Site, reflecting the maritime traditions and architectural excellence of the Andalusian coast.

Visitors can access the lighthouse via wooden and ground plank paths, with a parking area available nearby for convenient transportation.

The electric beam from Faro de Roche extends 25 nautical miles into the sea, making it a critical navigation point along the Costa de la Luz.
