The structure of this lighthouse is unique in Uruguay (square base then cylindrical shape). It is possible to climb to the top of the lighthouse, 118 steps, take your breath before the ascent! At the top there is a nice view of the center and the Rio de la Plata. It was built on the ruins of the convent of San Francisco in 1857 on the initiative of Venancio Flores. This convent was built in 1694 under Portuguese rule and destroyed in a fire in 1704. Today you can still see the high and wide walls; further forward is the Chapel of the Concepción.
