Spain, Galicia, Fisterra, panoramic aerial view Finisterra lighthouse and outbuildings on the headland with cliffs at the far end of Galicia in the warm evening light.
The lighthouse was built in 1853 at 138 metres above sea level and was regarded as the end of the world, "Finis Terrae". For thousands of years it was thought that behind it there was only a watery abyss where the sun went out every night and over which one could reach a region of darkness inhabited by sea monsters. It is the westernmost lighthouse in Europe, with an octagonal tower, the lighthouse keeper's house and a square dedicated to General San Martín, after whom it is named Plaza de la República Argentina. It is probably the most visited in Europe as well as the closest to America. It is said that on clear days you can see the line of Portugal. It is known to sailors all over the world because it is an important warning device on this extremely dangerous coast (its light reaches up to 65 kilometres) and because of the bad reputation of this sea area. From here you have an impressive view of the immensity of the ocean as well as the Ria de Corcubión and the Carnota coast, above which the granite complex of the O Pindo mountains can be seen.
