Faro de Punta Insua

The hexagonal stone tower of Faro de Punta Insua rises 14 meters above ground level, with its focal plane reaching 27 meters above sea level.

Construction of the lighthouse began in 1913 under architect Salvador López Miño, and the structure started operating officially in 1921 to guide maritime traffic.

The lighthouse represents the maritime navigation heritage of Galicia, connecting the coastal communities through its position between Corrubedo and Fisterra lighthouses.

Located at coordinates 42.7725066 latitude and -9.1249777 longitude, the lighthouse emits three flashes every nine seconds with a range of 15 nautical miles.

The structure includes an adjoining house where lighthouse keepers lived, maintaining the light system that changed from manual operation to electric power in 1947.
