Farol da Lapa"The light was established at the church of Nossa Senhora de Lapa. In 1892 the light became the front light of the Póvoa de Varzim entrance range. Inactive since at least the 1960s the light was probably deactivated because new breakwaters made the old range line inappropriate. Located on the waterfront at the harbor of Póvoa de Varzim."
