Matamoros Lighthouse

Matamoros Lighthouse (Spanish: Faro de Matamoros) is a defunct lighthouse along Matamoros Street, in colonia Centro, Puerto Vallarta, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. A beacon, the structure was built by Roberto Alcazar and inaugurated on August 15, 1932. It operated until June 1978, and upon retire

ment, was deemed a historic landmark. In 2006, the structure was remodeled and converted into a lookout with stair access. The structure, now considered a tourist attraction, provides panoramic views of the city and Banderas Bay. It was cleaned and graffiti was removed in 2017.
