Ponta Negra Light, Maritime beacon on Corvo Island, Azores.
The hexagonal reinforced concrete tower measures 3 meters in height and stands on Ponta Negra promontory, emitting white light signals every five seconds.
The initial iron structure, built in 1910, stood 6 meters tall with a red-painted metal cabin annex on the southern coast of the island.
This lighthouse forms an integral component of Azorean maritime heritage, ensuring safe passage for vessels navigating these remote Atlantic waters.
The modern structure operates using photovoltaic panels and backup batteries, providing a visual range of 9.7 kilometers across open waters.
The lighthouse stands next to traditional windmills along Caminho dos Moinhos, marking the final European reference point for vessels heading toward America.
