About Río Santa Ana Lighthouse
The Río Santa Ana lighthouse stands on the campus of the Latin American School of Medicine, roughly 15 kilometers west of Havana. Its distinctive design features an observation room placed atop a water tank, which is then elevated by a cylindrical column. This white column supports a structure with light blue accents on its tank and lantern. The lighthouse has a focal height of 56 meters and emits a white flash every 10 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 19.5 nautical miles. The tower, with a height of 50 meters, is an active aid to navigation.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's unique architecture, integrating an observation room and water tank on a cylindrical column, makes it a recognizable structure. Its location on a university campus also sets it apart, combining navigational function with an academic environment.
