Punta del Este Lighthouse is a historic landmark located in the beautiful coastal city of Punta del Este, Uruguay. This iconic lighthouse stands tall at a height of 45 meters and is situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the vast Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse was built in 1860 and has been guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters of the Rio de la Plata ever since.
The lighthouse is constructed of brick and has a conical shape with a white and red striped exterior. The interior of the lighthouse is equally impressive, with a spiral staircase leading up to the top of the tower. Visitors can climb the stairs to the top of the lighthouse and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the ocean beyond.
The Punta del Este Lighthouse is not only a popular tourist attraction but also serves as an important navigational aid for ships passing through the Rio de la Plata. The lighthouse is still in operation today and its powerful beam can be seen from miles away.
In addition to its practical purpose, the Punta del Este Lighthouse is also steeped in history and folklore. Legend has it that the lighthouse is haunted by the ghost of a former lighthouse keeper who fell to his death from the tower. Visitors can learn more about the history and folklore of the lighthouse at the nearby museum.
Overall, the Punta del Este Lighthouse is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Punta del Este. Its stunning architecture, breathtaking views, and rich history make it a true gem of the city.
