Marbella Lighthouse
Marbella Lighthouse is a working maritime lighthouse in the city centre, next to the marina. Built in 1864 to a design by engineer Antonio Molina, it was electrified in 1944 and replaced in 1974 by a 29-metre concrete cylindrical tower. Its automatic light, controlled by a photoelectric cell, emits two flashes every 14.5 seconds with a range of 22 nautical miles. Although only the exterior can be visited, it is visible from the seafront promenade and forms part of the harbour landscape. Its history is linked to Marbella's old anchorage, from which iron ore was shipped to Málaga.
