Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, 19th-century lighthouse and museum in Burgos, Philippines
The Cape Bojeador Lighthouse features an octagonal stone tower rising 66 feet above Vigia de Nagpartian Hill, overlooking the South China Sea.
Engineer Magin Pers y Pers designed the lighthouse in 1887, and the structure began guiding ships through the Ilocos coastline on March 30, 1892.
The Philippine Government designated Cape Bojeador Lighthouse as both a National Historic Landmark and National Cultural Treasure in 2004 and 2005.
The lighthouse contains a small museum with preserved keeper quarters, while visitors need to climb concrete stairs to reach the observation deck.
The structure maintains its original function with three light flashes every five seconds, reaching ships within a 20-nautical-mile range of the coastline.
