Cape Santiago Lighthouse, Historic lighthouse in Calatagan, Philippines
The Cape Santiago Lighthouse rises 51 feet above the cliffs, constructed from white and red bricks with a design inspired by medieval European fortifications.
Spanish engineers Magin Pers and Guillermo Brockman completed this maritime structure in 1890 to guide vessels through Verde Island Passage and Manila Bay.
The lighthouse bears the name of Don Santiago Zobel, a local landowner who provided the land for its construction during the Spanish colonial period.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by taking a bus from Manila to Calatagan, followed by a 30-minute tricycle ride from the town center.
The Japanese government contributed to the lighthouse preservation by donating a new light bulb in 1980, later replaced with solar-powered technology.
