The Ponta da Piedade Lighthouse is situated on a dramatic cliff near Lagos, in the Algarve. Built in 1913, it boasts one of the region's most beautiful viewpoints. All around, you'll see spectacular rock formations, caves, and crystal-clear water. The lighthouse itself is small, but the location is popular with hikers and photographers for its panoramic ocean views.

Although the lighthouse is only 5 meters high, it is 51 meters above sea level and has been giving 5 light signals (one every 10 seconds) with its Frechnel lens since 1913. The light signal reaches about 15 nautical miles.
