Lighthouse of Cabo Carvoeiro, an active lighthouse in Peniche. The first purpose-built structure was a 21 metres (69 ft) tall lighthouse that started to operate in 1790. By 1886, it was completely remodelled, under the direction and project of Polycarpo Lima. This included the installation of a petrol lamp to illuminate the beacon. In 1923 the fixture was substituted for a giant fourth-order optical lens, and operated by clockwork mechanical system, resulting in a system of four red flashes, separated in 10 seconds intervals. The light was substituted in 1947 by gas lamp. By 1952, the beacon began to operate by electricity. By 1988, the lighthouse was automated, with the optics removed and its place replaced by a rotating panel, that emitted three, red flashes, with 15 second interval and 15 nautical miles (28 km) range. Its contemporary role is much less important, with the red beacon being used to guide ships on their approach to the nearby fishing port of Peniche.
