About Vilagarcía Lighthouse
Also known as: Vilagarcía (Rosa de Mar)
Built in 2008, this 14-meter blue sculpture serves as the light structure at the end of the quay marking the entrance to Vilagarcía harbor. Its focal plane is 19 meters above sea level, and it emits a green light with a single flash every 7 seconds, visible for 12.9 nautical miles. The structure, created by sculptor Xaquín Chaves, is described as a metaphor for the ocean and sky. This modern navigational aid is located 0.4 kilometers from the nearest port of Villagarcia. The area around the sculpture is accessible to visitors.
Why it matters: This navigational aid is important for maritime traffic entering and exiting the Vilagarcía harbor. Its unique design as a blue sculpture by Xaquín Chaves makes it an artistic landmark in addition to its function.
