Located on a cliff on Montedor hill, 8 km north of Viana do Castelo and 11 km south of the estuary of the River Minho, the Montedor lighthouse has commanding views. It overlooks the fine beaches of Paçô to the north and Carreço to the south. Its construction was often postponed, but it was eventually built in 1910 and is Portugal’s most northerly light house. The granite tower is 28 metres high and is at an altitude of 103 metres above sea level. The Montedor cliffs are well known for their rock art which has been dated at 3,000 BC.
