The Punta Nati Lighthouse is a lighthouse ( catalan Far ) in the North West - Cape of Menorca , about five kilometers north of Ciutadella .
After repeated ship accidents occurred in this sea area, the sinking of the French passenger ship Général Chanzy on February 9, 1910, gave the decisive impetus for the construction of the lighthouse. The Spanish engineer and builder Mauro Serret (1872–1945) was commissioned with the design. Construction work for the 19 m high tower and the U-shaped residential buildings began on July 5, 1912. After a construction period of 14 months, the beacon went into operation on September 1, 1913.
