About Alcochete Lighthouse Lighthouse
Constructed of concrete, the Alcochete Lighthouse is a cylindrical white tower standing 7.5 meters tall. It was built and first lit in 2006. The lighthouse features a gallery and a small lantern at its summit. Its white light emits a single flash every 5 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. The tower is situated at the end of a long public pier in Alcochete, on the south bank of the Rio Tejo, east of Almada. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a navigational aid for vessels approaching or departing the Alcochete Pier on the Rio Tejo estuary.
