      The Farol de Aveiro (also known as da Barra) is over 60 meters high, making it the sixth tallest lighthouse in the world. Every Wednesday, the first 50 visitors are allowed to ascend the tower. Therefore, there are often long lines of people in front of the tower on Wednesdays.

        The staircase consists of stone steps in the shape of a spiral. Built between 1885 and 1893, it is the most visited lighthouse in Portugal.
