About Bajo Piedra Seca Lighthouse
A cylindrical stone tower, 12 meters high, marks the Bajo Piedra Seca shoal in the Ría de Arousa. It is painted white with a green band encircling its upper section and features a double gallery. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every 9 seconds, visible for 11 nautical miles. This structure is located about 1.2 kilometers east of Isla de Rua. The site is accessible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public. The nearest port is Ribeira, located 3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the submerged Bajo Piedra Seca shoal within the Ría de Arousa, ensuring safe passage through this busy Galician estuary. Its unique double gallery design adds a distinct architectural feature to the local maritime scenery.
