Location & Light Range

About Quatipuru Lighthouse

The Quatipuru Lighthouse was a steel skeletal tower measuring 25 meters in height, with its light positioned 27 meters above sea level. Painted with horizontal red and white bands, it stood on a low point of land approximately 60 kilometers northeast of Santarém. Its operational status has since concluded, and the lighthouse is now considered inactive and likely demolished. Official records confirm its removal from light lists, indicating its complete retirement from maritime service. The structure's disappearance from its former location suggests it is no longer standing.

Why it matters: The lighthouse previously provided a navigational reference for vessels operating in the waters northeast of Santarém, assisting mariners in identifying their position.
