Cabo Carvoeiro Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Peniche, Portugal
The Cabo Carvoeiro Lighthouse features a white and red square tower measuring 27 meters in height with a rectangular annex building for keepers.
The lighthouse began operations in 1790 after construction started with the Pombaline license in 1758, marking the beginning of Portugal's Lighthouse Service.
The structure represents the maritime navigation heritage of Peniche, standing as a sentinel for ships traversing the western Portuguese coast.
Modern features include a rotating optical lens producing white light visible for 15 nautical miles and a fog horn sounding every 35 seconds.
The lighthouse underwent automation in 1988 with the installation of a PRB46 rotating panel and red flashing light system for guiding vessels.
