Nazaré Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse on a clifftop fort in Nazaré, Portugal
The lighthouse features a cylindrical white tower with a red lantern room, standing at the edge of a rocky promontory overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The maritime facility began operations in 1903 as part of Portugal's coastal navigation safety network, built upon an existing military fortification site.
The lighthouse marks the location where local fishermen have launched their boats into the Atlantic waters for generations, maintaining centuries-old fishing traditions.
Visitors can access the lighthouse daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with an iron staircase connecting the structure to the beach area below.
The structure provides an observation point for some of the largest waves on Earth, reaching heights of up to 35 meters during winter months.
