Areal view of Barra's Lighthouse

Considered one of Salvador’s historical landmarks, the Barra Lighthouse is located in the Santo Antônio Fort, at the Barra Beach, and is one of the main hallmarks of Bahia’s capital city. With a breathtaking view of Baía de Todos os Santos, the Lighthouse is a perfect spot to watch the sun set over the sea. The lighthouse’s inauguration date (1698) makes it the oldest lighthouse in the Americas. The 22 m-high tower with a bronze lantern attracts many visitors, who climb up their spiral staircase to see the French mechanism, which is switched on at night and off again in the morning by a lighthouse keeper.

Thanks a lot Francisco!
