About Cabo Rebordiño Lighthouse
The Cabo Rebordiño lighthouse, built in 1909, stands on an east-pointing promontory near Muros, Spain. This 8-meter round cylindrical tower is constructed of cast iron, with a lantern and gallery, and is attached to a two-story keeper's house. A footbridge connects the tower's gallery to the roof of the adjacent dwelling. The tower is white, topped by a metallic lantern dome. The lighthouse emits a red flash every 7 seconds. It guides vessels into the harbor of Muros, with a geographic range of 12.7 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for mariners entering and leaving the harbor of Muros. Its unique architectural feature, a footbridge connecting the tower's gallery to the keeper's house roof, makes it a distinctive structure on the Galician coast.
