    A lighthouse, it shines anew every evening

      Farol de Vila Real de Santo António (Lighthouse)
      The lighthouse of Vila Real de Santo António, built in 1923, replaced the old iron lighthouse, the "Farolinho de Ferro". The round tower is 40 meters high. Originally, the light from the lighthouse was created by burning off petroleum fumes. In 1927 the tower was supplied with electricity produced by generators. In 1947 it was connected to the public power grid. In 1960 an elevator was installed in the tower and in 1989 it fully automated the system. However, lighthouse keepers are still necessary to ensure smooth operation.
