Cardona Island Light, Maritime lighthouse in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The Cardona Island Light features a white cylindrical tower with a black lantern, rising 11 meters above a one-story keeper's dwelling on the island.
Spanish authorities constructed this navigational aid in 1889 at a cost of 11,760 pesos to mark the entrance of Ponce's commercial harbor.
The neoclassical structure represents the maritime traditions of Puerto Rico through its symmetrical design and architectural elements from the late 19th century.
Access to the lighthouse requires a private boat, but visitors can observe the structure from La Guancha boardwalk or Ponce Yacht Club.
This lighthouse contains the only sixth-order Fresnel lens system in Puerto Rico, manufactured by Sautter, Lemonnier & Company of France in 1888.
