This lighthouse was a mystery to me solopes identified it. He said that it.. "was built in Cacilhas (just across the river from Lisbon) in 1886, and moved to Azores in 1978, to replace Serreta lighthouse, in Terceira, destroyed by an earthquake. After strong protests from local people, in 2004 it was decided to rebuild the lighthouse in Cacilhas, with the same apearence and aproximately in the same place. It was finished last July, but, so far, the lighthouse is... red, still with some discussion." |

This was a 'fake lighthouse taken from the bus window which is why it has a slightly green tint. |

How nice to see the difference. Comparing memories with today's actuality can have a funny result sometimes. |
