An
Old chapel once stood at Ponta da Piedade,
and the highest religious authorities in
Portugal had to intervene before a
Lighthouse could be built here.

Built
in 1913, it stands 8 metres high and 51
meters above the sea.

Its
Characteristic is 1 Flash every 7 seconds.
Range of 20 miles.

Automated
in 1998, but it is still inhabited.









Another
handy wooden post to secure mast too.
