Una torre ottagonale, carica di mistero. E’ il faro più antico delle Filippine, gioiello storico e artistico risalente al periodo coloniale spagnolo…
The Cape Bojeador Lighthouse also known as Burgos Lighthouse is a cultural heritage structure in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. The lighthouse was erected as part of Spain’s master plan of illuminating the Philippines. The initial design was by Magin Pers and Pers in 1887 but was completed by Guillermo Brockman’s Lighthouse Service. The lighthouse tower is 65 feet tall and is octagonal. It is made with bricks to crowned with a bronze cupola. On March 30, 1892, it was lit for the first time. The Philippines was under the Spanish rule at the time.
The Cape Bojeador Lighthouse is more than 100 years since it was established, marking the northwesternmost point of mainland Luzon and it is still fully functional, a beacon signaling to ships that they have entered the Philippine territory. Climbing at the old ladder which would you lead to the lantern room is a little bit scary who have problem from height’s but when you reach the lantern room it was breathtaking, amazing, gorgeous and beautiful view. If you want a peaceful and a romantic adventure the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse is the perfect place.
