Ponta da Piedade Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on limestone cliffs in Lagos, Portugal.
The square tower with yellow tiles and red metal dome rises 51 meters above sea level on the Algarve coast.
The lighthouse started operating in 1913 on the site of Nossa Senhora da Piedade hermitage, using an oil lamp with a fourth-order Fresnel lens.
The lighthouse stands as part of Portugal's maritime navigation network, which began development during the 16th century exploration period.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by car with available parking or take local buses from Lagos, making it accessible throughout the year.
The lighthouse offers views of rock formations, caves, and arches shaped by centuries of coastal erosion along the Atlantic waters.
