Faro de Punta de las Figuras
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. Dark since 1938 and restored in 2003, it stands at the entrance to the Punta Guilarte public beach east of Arroyo; Hurricane Maria damaged it again in 2017.
