Lighthouse Punta Mogotes

The Punta Mogotes Lighthouse features a conical tower with red and white horizontal stripes, constructed from iron plates and topped with a cylindrical glass compartment.

The lighthouse components were manufactured in France and transported to Argentina, where construction began in 1890 and concluded with its inauguration in August 1891.

The lighthouse museum presents exhibits highlighting the maritime history of Mar del Plata and the role of lighthouses in Argentina's coastal navigation.

The lighthouse museum maintains regular visiting hours from Monday to Sunday, allowing visitors to explore the maritime heritage of Mar del Plata's coastline.

The lighthouse incorporates a specialized signaling system, implemented in 1934, which transmits interval signals to assist vessels in determining their position at sea.
