Lighthouse Itapuã, Lighthouse in Itapuã district, Salvador, Brazil.
The white cylindrical tower rises 21 meters above the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, providing navigational guidance to vessels approaching Salvador's coast.
The Itapuã Lighthouse began operations in the early 20th century to protect ships from dangerous rocks and guide them safely into Salvador's harbor.
Local musicians reference the lighthouse in traditional Brazilian songs, including compositions about the coastal life of Salvador's northeastern region.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via public transportation from Salvador's center, with regular bus services stopping at Itapuã neighborhood stations.
The structure marks the exact point where Portuguese navigators first spotted the Bay of All Saints during their initial exploration of Brazil.
