Penedo da Saudade Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Marinha Grande, Portugal.

The white quadrangular tower of Penedo da Saudade Lighthouse rises 32 meters high from its base at 55 meters above sea level.

The lighthouse began operations on February 15, 1912, with a rotating third-order optical device powered by oil vapor for maritime navigation.

The structure represents Portuguese maritime engineering from the early 20th century and continues to guide vessels along the Atlantic coast.

Visitors can access the lighthouse during Wednesday afternoon tours and utilize the external parking facilities near the building.

The lighthouse required a complete shutdown from 1921 when its lighting system was transferred to the Cape Mondego Lighthouse.
