The lighthouse
Construction of the lighthouse began on the 9th of October 1856 and the engineer responsible for the Project was Marià Parellada. The lighthouse was inaugurated on the 15th of December 1859. In the beginning the lamp was lit by oil which was then substituted for paraffin and petrol and substituted for electricity in 1927, when the optical apparatus was improved and substituted by another which came from the Medes Islands, which still Works today, although it has had small modifications. The light reaches a distance of 35 miles and its navigation pattern is 3 short beams and 2 large beams every 30 seconds.
