Lighthouse · Guánica, Puerto Rico
Faro de Guánica
The tower was first lit in 1893 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ruin, dark since 1950, mostly fell in the January 2020 earthquakes; part of the tower and one wall still stand beside PR-333 in the Guánica State Forest.
