Capul Island Lighthouse, National Historical Landmark lighthouse in Northern Samar, Philippines
The cylindrical white lighthouse with red trims stands 12 meters high at Titoog Point, featuring a double balcony and lantern at its summit.
Spanish engineer Guillermo Brockman designed the lighthouse in 1892, and construction began in 1893, though work paused during the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
The lighthouse, designated as a National Historical Landmark in 2013, received a historical marker named Parola ng Capul from the National Historical Commission in 2018.
The lighthouse emits white flashes every seven seconds, with its third-order Fresnel lens providing visibility up to 18 nautical miles across San Bernardino Strait.
The lighthouse tower contains granite materials and includes a pavilion that was added during the American colonial period after initial Spanish construction.
