Guánica Light, Nineteenth century lighthouse ruins in Guánica, Puerto Rico.
The octagonal brick tower with a balcony and lantern rises from a one-story building at the entrance of Guánica Bay.
In July 1898, lighthouse keeper Robustiano Rivera observed American forces landing during the Spanish-American War and alerted the local population.
The lighthouse entrance displays the official coat of arms of the Spanish Corps of Road Engineers, reflecting the colonial maritime heritage.
The ruins can be accessed from PR-333 road, with parking available across the street for visitors exploring the structure.
The lighthouse sustained damage from earthquakes in 1937 and 2020, leading to significant structural deterioration of its original features.
