Description

The lighthouse of l'Albir is a unique historical building built in 1863 with the aim of signalling the northern end of the Serra Gelada. The building was inhabited by two lighthouse keepers until the 1960s, when the constant presence of a technician at the lighthouse became unnecessary. Although the lighthouse lantern never fails to shine, the lack of maintenance led to a constant degradation of the structure, until in 2011 the Town Council of l'Alfàs del Pi refurbished the building. In the rooms where the two lighthouse keepers used to live, an exhibition centre has been designed with a journey through the nature and history of the Serra Gelada. At present, the lighthouse of l'Albir is the only one in the Valencian Community with a shared use, as a maritime signal and cultural centre. This centre has been awarded the Blue Centre flag, a symbol of quality, good management and excellence since 2013.
