Schnelle Fakten: Perched on a rocky headland, the lighthouse guides ships along the Mediterranean coast with a light visible up to 30 nautical miles away. The surrounding medieval walls create a stunning contrast with the sea, making it a striking silhouette against the skyline.
Highlights: One fascinating detail is the lighthouse's dual function as both a maritime navigational aid and a historic watchtower, blending utility with ancient defense. Views from the top reveal a dazzling panorama of terracotta rooftops, azure waters, and the Serra d'Irta mountains in the distance.
