About Noia District Lighthouse Lighthouse
The Noia District Lighthouse is a square stone tower standing 4 meters tall, located on a headland on the east side of the Ría de Muros y Noia near O Porto do Son. Its focal height reaches 37 meters, and it emits an occulting white and red light with a 3-second cycle. Originally, the light was shown through a window within the tower, but it has since been moved to the top. The lighthouse maintains a geographic range of 16.6 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for safe passage within the Ría de Muros y Noia, guiding vessels around the headland. Its past adaptation of relocating the light from a window to the tower's summit reflects changes in navigational practices.
