Lighthouses

Gibraltar | Europa Point Lighthouse

Europa Point Lighthouse, is situated on the south-eastern tip of Gibraltar, on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, at the entrance to the Mediterranean. The classic British design, with red and white livery was constructed in 1841 to allow safe navigation of the Bay of Gibraltar. Automated in 1994, the 20-metre lighthouse is still in use today but may soon become redundant if the proposed Europa Point football stadium is constructed as planned as this will obstruct the light.
