Folly Lighthouse, National monument lighthouse in Port Antonio, Jamaica
The brick tower with white and orange-red bands rises 49 feet above the Folly Peninsula, featuring a lantern and gallery at its summit.
Built in 1888 by Alfred Mitchell, the lighthouse stands near the ruins of his grand mansion constructed for his wife, Annie Tiffany Mitchell.
The Jamaica National Heritage Trust maintains this maritime structure as part of a network of historical coastal sites throughout the Portland region.
The lighthouse emits a white light that flashes every 10 seconds and remains visible for 13 nautical miles, guiding ships into the harbor.
Modern solar power technology now operates this 19th-century lighthouse, demonstrating the integration of contemporary solutions in historical structures.
