Cabo Mondego Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Cape Mondego, Figueira da Foz, Portugal.
The stone lighthouse stands 15 meters tall at the end of Boa Viagem Mountain, providing a clear view over the Atlantic Ocean coast.
The original structure from 1858 underwent reconstruction in 1917, incorporating advanced technology with a second order fresnel lens powered by oil.
The lighthouse marks part of Cape Mondego Natural Monument, containing limestone rocks and geological formations from the Bajocian-Jurassic period.
Visitors can access the lighthouse without prior arrangements on Wednesdays, while other days require booking through the National Maritime Authority.
The lighthouse beam reaches 98 meters above sea level and produces white flashes every 5 seconds, visible up to 28 nautical miles across the ocean.
