Description

El Faro de Cabo de San Vicente es un faro situado en el Cabo de San Vicente, freguesía de Sagres, concejo de Vila do Bispo, región del Algarve, Portugal. Está construido dentro de la Fortaleza de San Vicente del siglo XVI.

Durante el reinado de Manuel I de Portugal, a comienzos del siglo XVI, el Obispo de Algarve, Fernando Coutinho, mandó construir en el Cabo de San Vicente una fortaleza y una torre a modo de faro como defensa de esa zona de la costa. En 1587, el pirata británico Francis Drake destruyó la fortaleza y el primitivo faro. La estructura fue mandada reconstruir por el rey Felipe II de Portugal, en 1606. Como todas las fortalezas de la zona, resultó arrasada durante el terremoto de 1755.
