Punta Jandía Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Pájara, Spain.

The white stone tower of Punta Jandia Lighthouse rises 19 meters above the southern tip of Fuerteventura, providing navigational guidance across 22 nautical miles.

Built in 1864 under architect Juan León y Castillo's direction, this lighthouse marked a critical development in maritime safety for the Canary Islands region.

The lighthouse complex includes an interpretation center with five rooms displaying information about local geology, vegetation, wildlife, and maritime traditions.

The Las Palmas Port Authority maintains the structure, which emits a characteristic light flash every four seconds at 33 meters above sea level.

The lighthouse building incorporates dark volcanic rock masonry details that contrast with its whitewashed walls, reflecting traditional Canarian architectural elements.
