The Phare du Port d'Avall is a charming lighthouse situated at the entrance of Collioure's harbor. Painted in classic white and red, it stands as a beacon for local fishermen and pleasure boats navigating the rocky coastline. The lighthouse is part of the town's picturesque seafront, flanked by the medieval Fort Saint-Elme and the iconic Notre-Dame-des-Anges church. Visitors can walk along the harbor wall to get a close-up view of the lighthouse and enjoy the vibrant scene of colorful boats bobbing in the water. The area is perfect for a leisurely stroll, especially in the morning when the light is crisp. From here, you can also see the reflections of the old town's buildings shimmering on the sea. The lighthouse is not open to the public, but its exterior is a beloved subject for photographers and painters, continuing Collioure's artistic legacy.
