Summary

[edit]
Description

O farol da Ponta da Piedade é um farol português que se localiza na Ponta da Piedade, freguesia de Santa Maria, Lagos, Algarve.

Trata-se de uma torre quadrangular amarela, de alvenaria com edifício anexo. Possui lanterna vermelha.

Foi erigido entre 1912 e 1913, no local das ruínas da ermida de Nossa Senhora da Piedade, entrando ao serviço neste último ano, com um aparelho óptico de quarta ordem que emitia cinco relâmpagos agrupados a cada dez segundos do alto de uma torre de cinco metros, a 51 metros de altitude.

A fonte luminosa era um candeeiro de petróleo. Em Dezembro de 1923, a luz passa a ser de ocultações, com uma ocultação de 2,5 segundos a cada 69,5 segundos.

Em 1952, o farol é electrificado com energia da rede pública, sendo substituído o candeeiro de petróleo uma lâmpada eléctrica, com um alcance original de 15 milhas náuticas, posteriormente aumentado para 18 milhas náuticas.

Quatro anos depois, é montado um novo aparelho de incandescência eléctrica. Foi automatizado em 1983. <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farol_da_Ponta_da_Piedade" rel="nofollow">pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farol_da_Ponta_da_Piedade</a>
