FERRARIA LIGHTHOUSE
37.85339, - 25.84976
This lighthouse is composed of a tower and a house for the keeper. It's placed 107 metros above sea level on the west coast of S. Miguel island.
The lighthouse of Ferraria was only established on 22 October 1901, as said the Navigators Notice No. 18, that same day: "Having finished the period of experience the light from the lighthouse of Ferraria will finally start on 9 of next November."
Early, the light source was a lamp of constant level, later replaced by an incandescent oil vapor. The rotation of the optic was produced by a clock machine.
The lighthouse was electrified in 1957 with electrogenic groups. The light source has become a 3000W lamp. In 1974 an electric motor was mounted to feed the the clock machine, an invention of the chief of the lighthouse (Bettencourt Leça), a clear proof that the need sharpens the work.
The lamp was electrified with public energy in 1988, getting to work with a lamp 1000W/120V and rotation from electric motors.
he lighthouse can be visited, but only in the afternoon on Wednesdays and with the permission of the lighthouse keeper. Without these conditions, you cannot enter the lighthouse facilities.
