Melilla Lighthouse • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the Melilla Lighthouse, or Faro de Melilla, a striking sentinel perched atop the rugged cliffs of Melilla La Vieja. You are standing within one of Spain’s most unique historic-artistic complexes, overlooking the vast, deep blue of the Alboran Sea. This lighthouse is more than just a navigational aid; it is a symbol of the city's endurance, built upon the high walls of the Bonete Bastion. As you look around, you will notice the blend of military fortification and maritime grace. This location has guided sailors for millennia, from ancient Phoenician traders to the modern ferries you see entering the port below. Take a moment to breathe in the salt air and feel the strategic importance of this high point, which represents the northernmost reach of Spanish heritage on the African continent.
