Cape Rachado Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Port Dickson, Malaysia.
The Cape Rachado Lighthouse features a double-storey keeper's house at the base and rises 24 meters high with a whitewashed masonry construction.
The original lighthouse, constructed by Portuguese rulers in 1528, marked the first maritime navigation structure in Malaysia to guide ships through the Straits of Malacca.
The lighthouse grounds serve as a prime location for the Malaysian Nature Society's annual Raptor Watch event, where migratory birds pass through the area.
Visitors reach the lighthouse through two separate stairways: a 72-step spiral staircase and a stone staircase that provides alternative access to the structure.
The lighthouse complex includes a concrete tower added in 1990 that houses a MEASAT radar system for monitoring maritime traffic across the strait.
