About Chibata Lighthouse
This cylindrical stone lighthouse stands 23 meters tall and features tan and red coloring. Its design resembles a water tower with an expanded upper section, mounted on a stone base. Located atop a cliff on the Costa da Caparica, approximately 4 km southeast of the Rio Tejo's mouth, the lighthouse guides vessels. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. Its operational red light emits a steady flash characteristic.
Why it matters: The Chibata lighthouse is important for maritime traffic approaching the mouth of the Rio Tejo. Its unusual design, repurposed from a water tower, represents adaptive reuse in navigational infrastructure.
