Cape Mondego Lighthouse stands atop the Cabo Mondego headland, guiding ships along the Portuguese coast since its construction. The white tower with red trim is a striking landmark against the blue Atlantic. Visitors can admire the lighthouse from outside, enjoy the surrounding cliffside scenery, and watch waves crash below. It remains an important navigational aid and a favorite spot for photographers and sunset viewers.
