History The first historical reference to the town's light (''sinal da Vila'') is from the 16th century. The light was located in the current location, named "Lugar do Facho" (literally, place of the lighthouse), where the Lapa Church was built in 1770. In May 1833, the Castelo da Póvoa Alferes asked for help, to the city hall, to keep the town's light for six nights. During the Portuguese Civil War (1828–1834), the light was located in the fortress. The light's current location, in Lapa Church, then named Facho da Atalaia da Ordenança, was over an iron structure, according to old listings of lighthouses and pictures from old postcards. This early version was a kind of crane tower located in Lapa churchyard, and assured the alignment that indicated the correct path ships should use to pass the sandbank in security. Stil ...
