A mid-nineteenth century lighthouse, very different from the rest of the lighthouses on the island of Menorca. Literature and cinema have turned lighthouses into buildings with a certain romantic charm and the lighthouses of Menorca were not going to be less (even when there is an urbanization around them and it loses that nostalgic point of desert terrain).<\/p>\n<p>Built in 1858 and inaugurated in 1859, it was originally powered by olive oil and later by petroleum until 1930, when electricity was introduced. Atypical in terms of coloring, it has black and white stripes, which, depending on the light, may appear dark blue.<\/p>\n<p>Since September 2005 it belongs to the insular catalog of Menorca&#8217;s historical heritage.<\/p>\n<p>This lighthouse hides several curiosities that give it cultural and historical importance, something that at first sight is not appreciated and, although it is not the most spectacular of the island, it is one of the most important. For example, the optics that at first had this lighthouse, was lent to the lighthouse of Cap Blanc in 1970, where it is still active, thus becoming the oldest optics of the Balearic lighthouses.<\/p>\n<p>Its physiognomy is different from the rest of the lighthouses of this island. Its initial height was about 36 meters, however, it is currently 57 meters high due to a reform carried out in 1967 in order to comply with the Lighting Improvement Plan. During this renovation, a series of buttresses were added (which give it the appearance we see today) in order to make it firmer and thus preserve the stability of the tower.<\/p>\n<p>Another curiosity is the existence of an underwater cave near the lighthouse that sometimes produces tremors of such magnitude that they can break the glass of the lighthouse lantern.<\/p>\n<p>The written documents tell that, in 1860, in the Island of Menorca several prisoners escaped from jail and the civil subgovernor of the island, by means of a writing, requested help to the lighthouse keepers to capture them. They replied that they would not be able to provide the requested assistance because, although according to the Regulations of the Corps of Lighthouse Keepers, each lighthouse had to possess armament, they had not been provided with it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;none&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||1px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/calasenmenorca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/sight-seeing-52.png&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;-9vw||-1px||false|&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0vw|||&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;CTA&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; z_index=&#8221;10&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;130px||3px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1600px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-100px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3765.0405337566954!2d3.8215744764889243!3d39.922541485568445!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x12be01ff5b584aaf%3A0x31e08e15be261017!2sFaro%20de%20Artrutx!5e1!3m2!1ses!2ses!4v1724073615028!5m2!1ses!2ses\" width=\"640\" height=\"380\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1730391824171!6m8!1m7!1sCAoSLEFGMVFpcE5tMzNLcnppa3RaS2UzWUJpdkZYc0puckFuSFpmNUlybmYxTDNV!2m2!1d39.92152026759605!2d3.824191376215313!3f274.0083778254994!4f-57.88780132355356!5f0.7820865974627469\" width=\"640\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Name: <strong>Far d&#8217;Artrutx<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Location<span>: <strong>Ciutadella<\/strong> <strong>area<\/strong> <strong>(?<\/strong><\/span><strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Distance from Mah\u00f3n:<span> <strong>\u00bf?

From Mah\u00f3n you will have to get to Ciudadela, and then follow the same directions, although you can avoid crossing the town center if before reaching Ciutadella, at the last traffic circle on the southern ring road, you take the left turn onto the lighthouse road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Cuerpo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can also get there by public transport by taking the Ciutadella &#8211; Cap d&#8217; Artrutx &#8211; Son Bosch line, only active in high season, or on foot, on the Ciutadella &#8211; Cap de Artrutx stage of the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls, with an extension of about 13.2 km.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Cuerpo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you prefer to go by boat, and you are looking for a place to enjoy a spectacular sunset, the Artrutx Lighthouse is your place.

If you are lucky the atmosphere is clear, you can make out Mallorca on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Video&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;90deg&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;100px|||||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row padding_top_bottom_link_1=&#8221;false&#8221; padding_left_right_link_1=&#8221;false&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#fe533a&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;none&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|10vw||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/calasenmenorca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/camino-sur.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;camino-sur&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;123%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;122%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-142px|||-8vw|false|false&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;9px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset3&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal=&#8221;20px&#8221; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;60px&#8221; box_shadow_blur=&#8221;180px&#8221; box_shadow_spread=&#8221;-20px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.64)&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_top_bottom_link_1=&#8221;false&#8221; padding_left_right_link_1=&#8221;false&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#fe533a&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;none&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|10vw|80px|100px&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||40px|40px&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Lato|700|||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;800px&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||30px&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>What to see near the Artrutx Lighthouse<\/h3>\n<p>Although it is not the busiest area of Menorca, if you like photography or painting, you can approach camera in hand and shoot, draw or paint the characteristic landscape full of charm and nostalgia. Many people come in summer to enjoy the sunsets accompanied by their partners or friends, if this is your case, we recommend that you wear appropriate footwear because if you are going to be located on the rocks, access will not be easy or comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in diving or snorkeling, you can go by boat to Cap d&#8217; Artrutx and discover the marine biodiversity of the area, but be careful, because it is an area of passage of boats and not all comply with the rules and safety distances, in fact, in 2020 a rental boat without a license capsized as a result of the sorpasso of another larger boat. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but it is important to follow the rules for everyone&#8217;s safety.<\/p>\n<p>The location of the lighthouse so close to a housing development makes it possible to organize a complete plan. Nearby is the Cala en Bosch, spend the day at the beach, enjoy swimming, watch the sunset at the lighthouse and dine in the restaurants near the urbanization. Perfect to squeeze and discover all the nooks and crannies of an island that makes everyone who visits it fall in love.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Details&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;PT Serif|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;60px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; max_width=&#8221;600px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||15px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to get to Artrutx Lighthouse by boat?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To reach Cala Santandria by boat, we must leave the port of Mah\u00f3n heading SE.
