This ligthhouse was built in 1971 on the PortCastelló breakwater (now the Ceramic quay) to extend the range of the previous lighthouse, wich had been in the port since 1917. This structure is a reinforced concrete tower, with a diameter of 3 metres. In 2021, a decision was made to demolish the lighthouse and build a similar one at the NE end of the port, next to the East breakwater.
