Faro de Torre del Mar, Maritime lighthouse in Torre del Mar, Vélez-Málaga, Spain.
The cylindrical white tower reaches 28 meters high and features a lantern room at its summit overlooking the Mediterranean Sea coast.
The construction of this navigation aid in 1864 responded to increased maritime traffic along the Spanish Mediterranean coastline during the industrial period.
The lighthouse maintains its original architectural elements from the 19th century, representing the maritime heritage of the Andalusian coast.
The light sequence pattern helps vessels identify their position from up to 13 nautical miles away in the Mediterranean waters.
The structure operates with specific light combinations, including sequences of one flash followed by three occultations for navigation guidance.
