Montedor Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Carreço, Portugal.
The Montedor Lighthouse features a quadrangular granite tower reaching 28 meters in height with a red semi-circular roof and weather vane on top.
The lighthouse began operations on March 20, 1910, following the extensive Lighthouse and Beacon Plan created by engineer Júlio Zeferino Schultz Xavier.
The lighthouse structure incorporates architectural elements of early twentieth-century Portuguese maritime navigation buildings, reflecting the period's construction techniques.
Located 4 nautical miles north of Lima River's mouth, the lighthouse emits two white flashes every 9.5 seconds, visible from 22 nautical miles away.
The lighthouse utilizes a third-order Fresnel lens, originally from Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse, manufactured by Barbier, Benard, et Turenne in France.
