\"Lighthouse<\/a>
Faro sa FarolaThe<\/figcaption><\/figure>Faro de Sa Farola is the most urban lighthouse<\/strong> of all those in Menorca.
\nLocated in the promenade of sa Farola, only 1 km from the center of Ciutadella, it is possibly the most ignored lighthouse by all those who pass by it.
\nThe construction of this lighthouse began in 1861 and was completed and inaugurated in 1863.
\nIn 2013 it celebrated 150 years since its opening!
\nThis lighthouse was one of the first of all the Balearic Islands to inaugurate the electric lighting system, in 1918.
\nDue to its exposure to the sea (it is a lighthouse located at a very low altitude, 21 meters above sea level, which caused the waves<\/strong> to enter inside the lighthouse often<\/strong>) it was decided to build a protective wall in front of the cliff.
\nThe house that was built for the lighthouse keeper on duty<\/strong> is still today the house of the person in charge of the maintenance of the 3 lighthouses of Ciutadella (Sa Farola, Punta Nati <\/a>and Artrutx<\/a>). <\/p>\n
