Main tower of the lighthouse. The top can be reached by a one-way spiraling steel stair. The lighthouse and building, built in the 18th century and renovated during the Commonwealth era to guide ocean going vessels along the rugged western coast.

Atop the lighthouse. Note giant solar battery powered lamp at right. 
Old original building made of bricks.
Ship, Ahoy!
The rocks, the rocks!
And the mariners of old,
guided by your eye
steer clear and free,
singing with the dawn,
Sail ho! Sail ho! ~
