Faro Isla de Flores, Lighthouse in Montevideo, Uruguay.
The circular masonry tower with white and red radial stripes reaches 19.5 meters in height and features white buildings at its base.
The first lighthouse, designed by engineer Bernardo Lecocq in 1791, was replaced by the current structure which began operating on January 1, 1828.
The lighthouse stands within Isla de Flores National Park, which encompasses the island and two nautical miles of surrounding waters since 2018.
The lighthouse beam extends 19.2 nautical miles, providing essential navigation guidance for vessels traversing the Rio de la Plata waters.
The Uruguayan Postal Service issued special stamps worth 10 pesos featuring this maritime structure on February 10, 2004.
