Dili Harbor Lighthouse, Navigational lighthouse in Dili, East Timor
The Dili Harbor Lighthouse rises 19 meters from a solid masonry base, featuring an octagonal metal skeletal tower with a lantern and gallery at its summit.
Built in 1896 to replace a 7-meter structure, the lighthouse underwent significant reconstructions in 1932 and between 1948-1949 following the Japanese occupation period.
The lighthouse represents Portuguese colonial architecture in East Timor, with its design incorporating European engineering principles adapted to maritime navigation requirements.
The lighthouse emits a white flash every 6 seconds and maintains a light range of 12 nautical miles, guiding vessels approaching the Bay of Dili.
The surrounding area, known as Bairro do Farol, developed into a residential district for European and high-ranking colonial officials during the 1950s.
