We are, again, looking for the name of a lighthouse. We are not even sure if it is a lighthouse. And we think it is in Spain.
Can anyone help?

I have beeen doing some image searches and have not found this lighthouse. I've found a site with a lot of images of Portuguese lighthouses

Portuguese lighthouses

Some of which look a little like it - this one is Porto de Aveiro, but the base is not quite the same - still, since it is a drawing and not a photo, artistic license may have been taken



I looked at Spanish lighthouses first

Spanish Lighthouse pictures

And I also tried looked for aerograms and stamps, but I kept getting into eBay where the pictures don't come up until you go through several steps, so I bagged it.

HTH

Hmm it does look like a lighthouse, but it also looks like the corner lookout of a fort.

I think the corner lookout of a fort would be better fortified than that. To vulnerable up there. Of course it could be a lighthouse on the corner of a fort like El Moro is for instance.

... and then it could be the thing I usually fall for ... It could be a whailing tower (is that spellt right?)

I suppose a whaling tower could be a lookout for whales?

I've heard of a wailing wall (for weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth), but not a wailing tower. Is there such a thing?

Well, I couldn't spell if I tried
I meant a wailing tower ... the one the Imman will call to prayer from.
But we have found out mean time that this one is a airport signal tower. Might have know, whit the plane buzzing around the tower ... :rolleyes:
Thanks y'all for your help!

Doesn't that mean Airport?

An interesting and unusual airport signal tower for sure.

FWIW, the tower next to a Mosque and used by the muezzin to call Moslems to prayer is called a Minaret .

No - the Portuguese for airport is Aeroportos. Porto de Aveiro is the Port of Averio. It is on the northern coast of Portugual

This is titled (translated from Portugese) "Gallant sail-boat in the Bar of Aveiro"

The call to prayer is sounded from a minaret (I had to look the name up). I once mistook the Sir. Christpher Wren monument built after the great London Fire for a a minaret.



And it makes more sense that it is a airport signal tower when you look at it - no light chamber (or whatever you call that transparent part at the top of the lighthouse).
