Felgueiras Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Foz do Douro, Portugal.
The stone lighthouse features a hexagonal tower with a red balcony and lantern, standing 10 meters tall at the mouth of Douro River.
Built in 1886, the lighthouse guided ships through dangerous coastal waters until its deactivation in 2009, before reopening in December 2021.
The structure represents Portuguese maritime engineering from the 19th century, with its granite masonry design reflecting traditional construction methods.
Located at coordinates 41°08′48″N 8°40′38″W, visitors can access the lighthouse area for views where the Douro River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The lighthouse maintains its original foghorn system and operates under remote control from the nearby Leça Lighthouse since 1979.
