Meda lighthouse
The Meda lighthouse is a lighthouse located in the Medes islands, located 1 mile from the municipality of l'Estartit, It is the only Catalan lighthouse located on an island, built in 1868.
The lighthouse was automated in 1923, by means of an automatic lighting project based on Swedish gas accumulators. Thanks to automation, the permanent figure of the keeper was eliminated, since in the past it was done manually.
In addition, in 1982 the lighthouse was remodeled and the new one and a half meter optics were installed, which worked thanks to the energy supply of photovoltaic panels.
