L1360988 Europa Point Lighthouse at Dawn - Gibraltar

Europa Point Lighthouse,Gibraltar photographed from Fred Olsen Lines MS BLACK WATCH as it approached Gibraltar on August 03, 2010 on a cruise from Southampton to Gibraltar. (So far this has been my only visit to Gibraltar must get around to go again as less than 6 hours ashore things were a bit rushed!)

Europa Lighthouse was inaugurated on 1 August 1841 in a brief ceremony witnessed by about 10,000 people. The first upgrade of the lighthouse occurred in 1864, when the single-wick lamp was replaced with a Chance Brothers four-wick burner, with further changes in 1875 and in 1894 when the amount of light emitted was increased. A three incandescent mantle burner was added in 1905. Following further modernisation in the 20th century, the lighthouse was fully automated in 1994 and converted to LED operation in 2016.

Europa Point Lighthouse is operated by Trinity House. The cylindrical tower is painted white, with a wide red horizontal band in the middle. The lighthouse has a height of 20 metres (66 ft) and is 49 metres (161 ft) above the high-water mark.
