The lighthouse
Still working.
The Salinópolis Lighthouse is a historic landmark in the seaside town of Salinópolis, Pará. It was first designed and built in 1852, from 8 March that year, and rebuilt in 1916; it stood twelve metres tall, with a light reaching about thirteen nautical miles. The keeper's house was originally part of the tower itself, but in 1937, for safety reasons, as kitchen smoke dimmed the light and the keepers' families lived in hard conditions with leaking water, the houses at the top of the tower were dismantled and masonry homes were built on the ground. The town began to grow around the lighthouse, which still works today. The Pará state government listed the lighthouse, once known as the Pharol do Apheu, as cultural heritage on 12 August 1994. It suits a short visit at sunset and combines well with the nearby Maçarico beachfront promenade.
