About Figueira da Foz North Mole Lighthouse
This cylindrical tower, standing 7 meters tall, guides vessels into the Rio Mondego at Figueira da Foz. Painted with red and white horizontal bands, the structure rises to a focal height of 15 meters. Its light emits a red flash every six seconds. The breakwater it stands on was extended between 2010 and 2011, leading to the relocation of the lighthouse to its current position at the pier's end. The site is accessible to the public, though entry into the tower is not permitted.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding ships into the Rio Mondego, marking the entrance to the busy port of Figueira da Foz.
