Alfanzina Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse in Carvoeiro, Portugal.
The Alfanzina Lighthouse rises 23 meters above the coastal cliffs, serving as a navigation point for ships along the southern Portuguese coast.
Built in 1920, the Alfanzina Lighthouse underwent modernization in 1981 when it connected to the public electricity network and became fully automated.
The lighthouse structure represents early 20th-century Portuguese maritime architecture, with its stone construction methods reflecting local building traditions.
Located at coordinates 37.0867467, -8.4426554, the lighthouse guides vessels with its beam reaching 29 nautical miles across the Atlantic waters.
The structure maintains its original stone facade and continues to operate as an active maritime safety beacon without any legal heritage protection status.
