About Salvaterra Lighthouse

Also known as: Salvaterra (Ilha dos Amores)

The Salvaterra Lighthouse is a 12-meter steel quadrupod tower situated on a small island offshore from Salvaterra, within the western Baía de Marajó. Its focal height reaches 14 meters, and it emits a white flash every 3 seconds. This structure replaced an earlier hexagonal skeletal tower. Records suggest the hexagonal tower may have superseded an even older 8-meter square skeletal tower. The lighthouse is operational and has a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage within the Baía de Marajó, a critical estuarine environment leading into the Amazon River delta, aiding local shipping and fishing vessels.
