Peniscola lighthouse (Faro de Peñíscola)
The Faro de Peñíscola lighthouse was built at the highest point of the fortress in 1899.
Initially, the light source was a kerosene-potash lamp, the light of which was visible at a distance of 14 miles.
The light source is located at a height of only 11 meters from the base of the tower, but the height of the rock on which it is built is over 60 meters above sea level.
В 1920 году была установлена оптическая система Френеля, а в 1923 году маяк был электрифицирован. Сейчас дальность видимости маяка составляет 23 морских мили.
From the base of the lighthouse you can see the Western Bastion of the fortress
and the narrow streets of the old town.
Well, I'm heading to the main attraction of Peniscola-the castle of Papa Luna.
