About Lajes Lighthouse
Also known as: Lajes (Ponta das Lajes)
The Lajes Lighthouse, a cylindrical masonry structure built in 1910, stands 16 meters tall. It is painted white and features a red tile roof. The tower emerges from the center of an attached, long, single-story keeper's dwelling. This operational navigation aid exhibits a white light with a characteristic of Fl W 28s, visible for 24.8 nautical miles. It is situated 0.5 kilometers from the port of Lajes das Flores.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unified structure, where the tower rises from the keeper's house, presents a unique design. Operating continuously since 1910, it marks the harbour entrance for vessels approaching Lajes das Flores.
