San Antonio Lighthouse, National historical lighthouse at Cape San Antonio, Argentina

The San Antonio Lighthouse features a triangular pyramid design with horizontal black and white bands, rising 58 meters above Cape San Antonio's coastline.

Built in 1892, the lighthouse endured several challenges, including a tornado in 1917 that broke one of its legs and a fire in 1986 that damaged its facilities.

The lighthouse received National Historical Monument status in 2010, cementing its role in Argentina's maritime heritage and coastal navigation system.

Visitors can access guided tours from Termas Marinas Park to explore the lighthouse, which now includes an elevator alongside its central cylinder.

The structure combines French architectural elements with cast iron construction methods, marking a turning point for vessels heading toward Rio de la Plata.
