AT THE END OF THE “LLEVANT WHARF” YOU CAN SEE THE FAR DE LA BANYA (BANYA LIGHTHOUSE), WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT IN THE EBRO DELTA, DESIGNED BY LUCIO DEL VALLE IN 1860.
IT IS A UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE METAL LIGHTHOUSES THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE ESTUARY OF THE RIVER EBRO, IN SPAIN .
THE LIGHTHOUSE, WHICH ALSO SERVED AS THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER’S HOME, BEGUN ITS OPERATION IN 1864 AND WAS ACTIVE UNTIL 1978, WHEN A NEW CONCRETE WAS BUILT.
IN 1984 IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE PORT OF TARRAGONA TO SAVE IT FROM BEING DEMOLISHED AND THEN TO BE RESTORED.
THE “TARRAGONA LIGHTHOUSE MUSEUM” IS LOCATED IN THIS HISTORICAL LIGHTHOUSE, SINCE 2003
