Cap de Cavalleria Lighthouse

Far de Cavalleria

The northernmost lighthouse on Menorca, standing atop a 90 m cliff; its barren red rock coastline and sunsets are emblematic of the north coast.

The lighthouse was built in 1857 and is surrounded by ochre-red rock and low shrubs, where peregrine falcons and gulls are often seen. Nearby Cavalleria Beach has golden sand and no development, and there are remains of the Roman port of Sanisera. The lighthouse has a small exhibition that opens seasonally. The north is windy, so hold on to your hat and phone. It is about a 20-minute drive from Fornells.
