Berlenga Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse on Berlenga Grande island, Portugal
The white cylindrical tower of Berlenga Lighthouse stands 29 meters tall at the highest point of Berlenga Grande island, guiding maritime traffic.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1837 after the Portuguese Ministry of Finance commissioned it in 1836, with completion achieved in 1842.
The lighthouse remains staffed by keepers who maintain maritime traditions while operating modern navigation equipment for vessel safety in Portuguese waters.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via boat services from Peniche harbor, with trips taking between 20 to 45 minutes depending on sea conditions.
Since 2000, the lighthouse operates entirely on solar power, supporting both its navigation functions and the residential needs of the keeper staff.
