Ponta de São Lourenço Lighthouse
Ponta de São Lourenço Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at easternmost point of Madeira Island, Portugal.
The stone lighthouse features an octagonal tower with a red lantern and balcony rising from a one-story keeper's house at Ponta de São Lourenço.
Constructed in 1870 atop a small extinct volcano, this 10-meter tall structure became the first operational lighthouse on Madeira Island.
The lighthouse holds municipal heritage status recognition for its contribution to maritime safety and regional identity of the Madeiran archipelago.
The lighthouse emits a white flash every five seconds with a focal height of 103 meters, providing visibility up to 20 nautical miles.
The structure combines dark and light stone materials, remaining unpainted except for its red lantern, while standing guard over the Atlantic waters.
