About Farol de Santa Marta
Farol de Santa Marta is located on the cape of the same name on Laguna's coast. Inaugurated in 1891, it retains a hyper-radiant optical system manufactured in France and remains linked to nautical signaling activity.
The installation is a historical reference distinct from a viewpoint with permanent access. For visits administered by the Marinha, make the scheduled reservation and check the conditions provided for the day. The coastal scenery around it also deserves attention, but being on site does not authorize entering the tower or moving through operational areas.
The history of the cape's illumination can be learned without assuming that all technical spaces will be open to the public.
