About Punta Roca Partida Lighthouse
Established in 1909, the Punta Roca Partida lighthouse is a 13-meter cylindrical concrete tower. It features a lantern and gallery and rises from the front of a one-story keeper's house. The light emits a single white flash every 16 seconds. Between 2014 and the present, the tower was repainted from red and white horizontal bands to a white finish with a red lantern roof. This active aid to navigation is located on a headland of the same name in Veracruz, Mexico.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the headland of Punta Roca Partida, guiding vessels along this part of the coast. Its integrated keeper's house provides a distinctive architectural element along the shoreline.
