Ponta Verde Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Ponta Verde beach, Maceio, Brazil.

The cylindrical masonry tower rises 11 meters high with alternating red and white horizontal stripes on pyramidal concrete pillars at Ponta Verde beach.

Built in 1922 with acetylene gas system, the lighthouse received a new tower in 1949 using structures from petroleum drilling operations in the area.

The lighthouse stands as a reference point for Maceio residents, marking the intersection between the urban landscape and the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

The nautical signaling lantern emits white flashes visible up to 13 nautical miles, powered by two 12-volt batteries with 115 amperes each.

The structure incorporates components from former oil exploration activities, transforming industrial elements into a maritime navigation instrument.
