Farol da Ilha Rasa, Maritime lighthouse on Ilha Rasa, Brazil.
The stone lighthouse rises 26 meters high with a cylindrical tower, featuring a balcony and lantern at the top of its structure.
Construction began in 1819 under King João VI of Portugal, using prisoner labor, and the first light illuminated the waters in 1829.
The lighthouse represents Brazilian naval engineering excellence and maritime safety traditions along the Rio de Janeiro coastline.
The lighthouse emits alternating white and red flashes every 15 seconds, reaching distances of 51 and 45 nautical miles respectively.
The structure contains one of only two meso-radial lenses manufactured in 1909, operating with diesel-powered electricity since 1951.
