Iconic Lighthouses

Cape Verde’s maritime landscape is defined by historic lighthouses that have guided Atlantic navigation since the 19th century. This collection features strategic beacons across the archipelago, including the 1894 Farol da D. Amélia on São Vicente and the 1930 Morro Negro tower on Boa Vista. These structures mark key geographical landmarks, such as the northernmost tip of Santiago and the rugged western coast of São Nicolau, illustrating the islands' significance in global shipping history.
