Cabo Mondego Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Cape Mondego, Figueira da Foz, Portugal.

Cabo Mondego Lighthouse is a white masonry tower with a square plan, 15 metres tall, standing at Cape Mondego in the parish of Buarcos, Figueira da Foz. An attached building adjoins the tower, and the lantern is white with a red balcony and red dome. It is listed as a Municipal Interest Property since 2004.

The lighthouse is a square masonry tower with an attached building, 15 metres tall, topped by a white lantern with a red balcony and dome. It is listed as an Imóvel de Interesse Municipal since 2004 and is managed by Portugal's national maritime authority based in Oeiras. Its identifiers are ARLHS POR010, Admiralty D2060 and NGA 3284.

The lighthouse stands on Cape Mondego, a limestone headland on the Atlantic where Jurassic rocks are exposed. The cape is also a reference point in the name of the Mondego river, whose mouth lies south of Figueira da Foz. The tower is a white square masonry structure with an attached building, a white lantern, and a red balcony and dome.

The lighthouse stands on Cabo Mondego in the parish of Buarcos e São Julião, reached from Figueira da Foz by road toward the cape. The tower is a square masonry structure 15 metres high with an attached building, white walls and a red lantern dome and balcony. It is managed by Portugal's national maritime authority, based in Oeiras, so the tower is not a regular staffed visitor site; check locally before planning to go inside.

The light beam emits regular flashes visible from far out at sea, helping ships with navigation across the waters. The visibility and range of this signal demonstrate how important the landmark remains for maritime safety in the region.
