Bugio Lighthouse, Marine lighthouse in Oeiras, Portugal.
The Bugio Lighthouse stands 14 meters tall on an island at the mouth of the Tagus River, featuring a bright green flashing light visible from 15 nautical miles.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1693 as part of the São Lourenço fortress complex, protecting Lisbon's maritime approaches during the Age of Discovery.
The structure holds status as an Immovable Cultural Heritage site, representing centuries of Portuguese maritime navigation and defense technology.
Visitors can observe the lighthouse during two-hour boat tours departing from Cascais, offering views of the Tagus estuary and surrounding fortifications.
The lighthouse operates with solar-powered Vega VLB44 Beacon technology installed in 2008, replacing the original system while maintaining its maritime safety role.
