Azeda Lighthouse
The Azeda Lighthouse went into operation on 6 June 1940 at the Quinta da Azeda in Setúbal, in Setúbal District, Portugal. Initially the light was mounted in a hut on a hill but new housing construction made it difficult to see and in 1996 a 31-metre tall cylindrical tower was constructed.| Tap on a place to explore it |
