In the year 1886, the time of the Porfiriato, the construction of a building made of non-perishable material began. But it was not until July 18, 1907 when it began to operate, the date on which Mr. Cándido Dalvarría installed the Fresnel lens mechanism in the bronze dome.

This building has a French neoclassical architectural style, it is a masonry construction, of poured sifted sand, one-inch rods with original columns and balustrades brought from France.

Whose tower integrated into the same building is 18 meters high, has two levels and a cistern or cistern where the water that the inhabitants used for drinking circulated through a system of cast iron pipes.

On May 2, 2010, he came back to life, regained his splendor, now converted not only into a sentinel who had the mission of bringing the sailors to a safe haven, but also a watchman who watches over economic and social development. and culture of that noble fishing town.

It currently functions as a tourist, cultural and community complex welcoming locals, nationals and foreigners with educational and recreational activities, cultural workshops, sports activities and being a location for various photo and video sessions.

Just a few steps from it, is the "new lighthouse" of the island with its characteristic white and red colors, while you walk through the place you can see the impressive orange and green iguanas, they also have a turtle farm and a small kiosk inside the park, ideal for taking photos while admiring the architectural beauty of the place.

We also recommend climbing to the top of the old lighthouse to have a spectacular panoramic view of the beautiful port of Isla Aguada.
