About template

Erected at Ponta da Vigia, 290 metres above sea level, the Ponta do Pargo lighthouse was first lit on 5th June, 1922.

Dominating the top of the cliff, the tower is 14 metres high and its light is at an elevation of 312 metres above sea level.

The lighthouse received electricity in 1989 and ten years later, in 1999, the regional government declared it as having local cultural value in the region.
