Description

The Cullera lighthouse was built in the place known as Punta del Faro. It is one of the two remaining examples on the coast of the province of Valencia. It is a circular building, in the centre of which rises the sixteen-metre-high ashlar masonry tower with a truncated cone section. It has three exterior openings. Its lamp was lit for the first time on 1 August 1858. Its focal plane rises 27.90 m above the sea.
The lighthouse's current appearance is the result of projects and alterations carried out since the 1960s, although its appearance and structure have retained the original design.
For safety reasons, the interior of the Cullera lighthouse cannot be visited. We will content ourselves with observing it from the outside at the Cape of Cullera.
