Torre del Cabo de las Huertas, Maritime navigation tower on Mediterranean coast, Alicante, Spain.
The cylindrical white tower rises 9 meters tall with a double gallery, marking the separation between Alicante Bay and San Juan Beach.
The lighthouse began operations on August 15, 1856, replacing a temporary structure and initially using an oil lamp for its fixed white light system.
The structure received the status of Bien de Interés Cultural in 1997, marking its significance in Spanish maritime architectural heritage.
The lighthouse functions with dioptric optics and emits a pattern of 3+2 flashes every 19 seconds, visible up to 25 nautical miles at sea.
Ancient Roman fish farms, carved as square pools in the limestone rocks, remain visible along the walkway near the lighthouse structure.
