Mucuripe Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Mucuripe, Fortaleza, Brazil.

The Mucuripe Lighthouse is a masonry, wood and iron structure built between 1840 and 1846 by enslaved workers, one of the oldest buildings in Fortaleza. It stands on Avenida Vicente de Castro in the Serviluz neighbourhood, near the port, and since 1981–1982 has housed the Museum of the Lighthouse (formerly the Jangadeiro Museum).

The structure was built between 1840 and 1846 and guided ships into Fortaleza's port until its deactivation in 1957. Later it was transformed into a museum to preserve its role in the city's maritime past.

Since 1981–82 the old tower has housed the Jangadeiro Museum, now the Farol Museum, whose collection covers colonial Fortaleza and Ceará during the Brazilian Empire. It holds reproductions, drawings, photographs, documents, illustrations, novel excerpts and visitors' accounts. The tower is also known as the "olho do mar", the eye of the sea.

The lighthouse sits between Mucuripe and Praia do Futuro beaches, close to restaurants and other coastal attractions. A visit works well if you are exploring the area or coming from a nearby beach.

The old lighthouse was deactivated in 1957, but a replacement inaugurated on 18 September 2017 stands about 2 km away on Rua Novo Farol, in the Vicente Pinzon neighbourhood. Built of reinforced concrete, the new tower is 71.1 m tall and is described as the tallest lighthouse on the American continent.
