Farol da Ponta do Sinó is a lighthouse near Ponta do Sinó, the southernmost point of the island of Sal, Cape Verde.[2] It is around 2 km southwest of the center of Santa Maria. The tower is quadrangular and is 9 meters tall and is made out of concrete, it has an outer staircase and features a lantern. All of the exterior are painted in white.[2] The lighthouse was built in 1892. In early 2013, a second building with the same style was constructed and was finished before 2014 and became activated as the lighthouse moved to its new location.[citation needed]
