Cabo San Antonio Lighthouse, Maritime navigation point on Guanahacabibes Peninsula, Cuba.
The cylindrical lighthouse rises 23 meters from its stone base, featuring a white exterior with a grey metallic lantern at the summit.
Governor General O'Donnell authorized the construction between 1846 and 1849, with completion during Federico de Roncali's administration in 1850.
The structure stands as one of 17 first-category maritime beacons in Cuba, directing thousands of vessels through Caribbean waters annually.
The lighthouse emits alternating light flashes every 10 seconds, reaching 22 nautical miles across the waters of western Cuba.
The 72-step iron staircase connects six floors within the tower, built upon a natural rocky formation 10 meters above sea level.
