Bicentennial Lighthouse, Modern lighthouse in Sarmiento Park, Córdoba, Argentina
The Bicentennial Lighthouse is a modern structure in Sarmiento Park rising 102 meters high with a reinforced concrete body featuring a spiral form that twists 90 degrees as it rises. At its base sit exhibition spaces and an auditorium where visitors can explore local art and attend community events.
Designed by architect Alejandro Cohen in 2011, the tower was built to honor the 200-year anniversary of Argentina's independence movement. This project marked an important milestone in the city's modern architectural development.
The lighthouse stands as an important symbol for the city, representing a moment that matters to its residents and visitors alike. The exhibition and event spaces at the base bring the community together for local activities and artistic gatherings.
The tower sits within Sarmiento Park and is visible from many angles, with its spiral form most striking in daylight hours. Interior access is limited, so it is best to explore the exterior design and base facilities during your visit.
The spiral design rotates as you walk around it, appearing different from each viewing angle within the park, which was an intentional design choice. This creates an optical quality that keeps the structure feeling dynamic and evolving rather than static.
