Cape Engaño Lighthouse, located on Palaui Island in the Philippines, is an important historical landmark that dates back to the Spanish colonial period. Constructed in 1892, it served as a crucial navigational aid for ships traversing the treacherous waters of the Babuyan Channel and the Philippine Sea. The lighthouse exhibits a classic Spanish architectural style, featuring a cylindrical tower made of brick and coral stone, and stands approximately 12 meters high. Despite its age, the structure remains remarkably well-preserved and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding seascape.
