Find out more about Mount Faro

Monte do Faro catches the eye from afar, with its 39-meter-high tower: the monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. By climbing its spiral staircase of 133 steps, we can discover one of the most impressive views of A Costa da Morte.

In the past, large bonfires were lit here to guide ships or alert the population of possible dangers.

Lighthouses, rivers, beaches and much more on the Costa da Morte
