Cabo Raso Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Cascais, Portugal
The cylindrical metallic tower of Cabo Raso Lighthouse stands 13 meters tall with a red exterior, lantern, and observation balcony at Fort São Brás.
The lighthouse began operations in 1894 with a fixed oil light system before transitioning to its current iron tower structure in 1915.
The lighthouse and its adjacent fort represent Portuguese maritime engineering and defensive architecture from the late 19th century along the Atlantic coast.
The automated lighthouse produces three white flashes every 15 seconds and maintains a visibility range of 20 nautical miles for maritime navigation.
The original light source operated from a wooden carriage on rails inside the keeper's house before moving to the current tower location.
