About Punta Laxe (Punta de Lago) Range Rear Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical concrete tower stands 8 meters tall. It is located near Muxía in the Galicia region of Spain, close to the port of Camarinas. As the rear light of a range system, this structure worked with a front light to provide a visual alignment for mariners. When the two lights appeared vertically stacked, vessels were on the correct course for navigation. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was essential for guiding vessels along a specific range, ensuring safe passage into or out of a particular harbor or channel. Its function as a rear range light provided the critical alignment necessary for precise navigation.
