Punta Médanos Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in La Costa Partido, Argentina
The cast iron structure of Punta Médanos Lighthouse extends 59 meters into the sky and serves as a critical navigation point along the Argentine coast.
Constructed in 1893, this maritime beacon has guided vessels through coastal waters for over a century before receiving national monument status in 2010.
The lighthouse represents the evolution of Argentine maritime infrastructure and stands as a testament to the nation's commitment to safe coastal navigation.
The lighthouse emits five white flashes every 40 seconds and maintains a visibility range of 28 nautical miles for approaching vessels.
The focal height of 68 meters and cast iron construction make this lighthouse an exceptional example of late 19th-century maritime engineering.
