About Ilha do Frade Lighthouse
Also known as: Ilha do Frade (Ilha dos Frades)
First lit in 1892, the Ilha do Frade lighthouse is a white concrete tower with a cylindrical shape. Standing 5 meters tall, its light is situated at a focal height of 35 meters. The structure emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 16.2 nautical miles. Originally, the light was housed on an iron pillar before the current concrete tower was established. The lighthouse is located at the south point of Ilha dos Frades, an island in the northern Bahia Todos os Santos, near Salvador. The site is open to the public, but the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the southern extremity of Ilha dos Frades within the Bahia Todos os Santos, aiding navigation in the bay.
