The project was drafted by Emili Pou. It was inaugurated on August 31, 1863 with a fixed catadioptric optic for a 6th order lighthouse and an olive oil moderator lamp with a wick. In 1883, olive oil was no longer used as fuel, and kerosene from Scotland was used instead. Then, in 1917, rotating screens with clockwork system and mercury float were added to produce a luminous appearance of 3+2 occultations. That same year a gas generator had been installed to produce the acetylene gas with which to illuminate the lighthouse, a system that was removed in 1964 with the installation of the then modern Dalen mixers, also powered by acetylene, but now producing a new appearance of isolated occultations every 5sg. In 1962 the lantern was replaced by another from Racional SA. In 1970 the lighthouse was electrified and a 4th order catadioptric optic was mounted, which is still active today, being the oldest optic placed in a lighthouse in the Balearic Islands, built by Henry Lepaute and installed for the first time in the lighthouse of Artrutx in 1859. The lighthouses of Cap Blanc and Cala Figuera are in charge of beaconing the ends of the Bay of Palma. At the beginning it had, like many other lighthouses, a boat service for the supply, and a road that ran along the cliff was used to carry the fuel up to the lighthouse.
The original lighthouse was designed by Emili Pou. The project was approved in 1862 as a sixth order lighthouse. It was inaugurated on 15-09-1864. It was a problematic lighthouse since its construction was studied, due to the complications derived from the existence in its vicinity of a "bufador", that is to say a great hollow in the rock communicated with the sea, because of which, when the great NW storms appear, a furious current of water is formed that rises more than 30 meters to collapse later on the lighthouse. Already in 1865 it was noted that as a consequence of the storms and the big waves, intense tremors were produced in the building. In those days, the lighthouse keeper considered it very dangerous to stay in the building and moved his family to a building near the lighthouse. In 1923, the usual residence in the circular building was definitively abandoned and the old temporary building used by the workers while the lighthouse works were being carried out was adapted as a dwelling. A new tower was projected in 1928, in a nearby but somewhat higher enclave and away from the bufador, at the same time that a new housing building was built. But the new lighthouse did not enter service until May 30, 1944. This, together with that of Cap Gross, were the first lighthouses that were electrified of all the Balearic Archipelago, in January 1918, although at the beginning the electrical line was very defective and almost every night the system of emergency lighting had to be placed during some hours that consisted of Maris lamp of a wick fed with petroleum.
It was designed by Emili Pou. It was inaugurated on 31-07-1860 as a 6th order lighthouse with fixed light and constant level lamps of a wick, although the optics installed were of 5th order. In 1919 rotating screens were added to the optics that produced a luminous appearance of 2 occultations every 10 seconds, illuminating by means of acetylene gas elaborated in a gas generator installed inside a hut annexed to the lighthouse. In 1950 the acetylene system broke down and the use of Maris or Aladdin lamps (both were used alternatively) with petroleum as fuel was recovered. In 1962 the old lantern was replaced by an aeromaritime lantern and the signal was electrified and the tower was rebuilt. At this date the optics were also changed, and a 4th order aeromaritime was installed, which generated a luminous appearance of 4 flashes every 20 seconds. The lighting was then produced by 1500 w electric lamps. In September 1970, the radio beacon installed there (today DGPS Differential GPS) began to operate. In that year the extension of houses was carried out. Due to the low height of this cliff, in the days of strong SW storms, the water reaches the lighthouse premises. Among the shipwrecks occurred in this point, the one happened in 1953 stands out, when in the dawn of April 1st, the ship Ciudad de Palma of the Trasmediterránea Company ran aground in Punta de Mulá, without any loss of human lives. As at the beginning the lighthouse had a supply service by boat, a way was opened in the cliff to bring up from the sea the provisions and fuel. Today the remains of that small pier and the access road can still be seen. When in 1926 an automatic beacon was placed on the islet of El Toro, the lighthouse keepers of Calafiguera were in charge of its maintenance, so they were picked up at the wharf near the lighthouse and taken to the islet to maintain the signal. One of the hardest and most dangerous tasks consisted of raising the acetylene cylinders by a davit placed on the edge of the cliff of the islet and carrying them to the beacon, which, if the sea was not very calm, was a very complicated task.
It was designed by Eusebi Estada. It was inaugurated on 15-11-1910. It is one of the lighthouses of Sa Dragonera that replaced the old one of Na Pòpia, located on the highest peak of the island. Its appearance began with isolated flashes every 7 seconds, thanks to the use of the then new technology based on the use of mercury float buckets to produce a faster turn of the optics. This meant a drastic change in the beaconing of the island, since the old Na Popia lighthouse had a luminous appearance of flashes every 2 minutes. It was the first signal in the Balearic Islands that used a Chance lamp of incandescence of petroleum vapor, reason why some year later lighthouse keepers of other enclaves like Capdepera or Isla del Aire, had to spend some days in this lighthouse to learn the handling of these lamps, which ended up being the most used in the archipelago.
Built on the highest peak of Sa Dragonera. At first Eusebio Estada considered the option of establishing a simple permanent light mounted on a metal turret and attended by the same staff of the lighthouse at the other end of the island in Cap Llebeig, but finally the criterion was adopted to build a lighthouse with a house whose project was in charge of Miguel Massanet. It was inaugurated on 15-11-1910. Being a lighthouse that did not require much luminous range, it used a simple Maris lamp with one wick, and the lighthouse was maintained by a single lighthouse keeper. In 1925 the lighthouse keeper assigned in this signal died and his wife had to take charge of the service during that night until the following day one of the lighthouse keepers of the Llebeig lighthouse could come to his aid. At the beginning of the 20th century it was very frequent the use of some coves of Sa Dragonera for the traffic of contraband, reason why the lighthouse keepers of Llebig and Tramontana had to testify in several trials celebrated in this respect. The original optics were removed in 1960 to make way for an automatic acetylene lighting system. The lighthouse was left without the constant permanence of the technician in 1961 and the Llebeig lighthouse keepers became responsible for its maintenance. The removed optic was placed later (1965) in the lighthouse of Portocolom where it is still in service.
The project was drafted by Eusebi Estada. In 1897 the mayor of Pollensa addressed a letter to the General Directorate of Public Works, requesting the location of a lighthouse in "la Punta Avanzada", so its construction was determined in December 1898. At the beginning it was thought that it would be of 6th order and red fixed light, but in the Plan of 1902 it was granted an appearance of concealments. Its construction began in 1903 and it was inaugurated on December 15, 1905 with a curious appearance of short and long flashes separated by occultations of equal duration. The long flashes were of 8 seconds and the short ones of 2 seconds, while the occultations lasted 3.5 seconds. It began by illuminating with a 250 mm focal length dioptric optic for single-wick Maris lamps. The illumination system also had an incandescent lamp and external heating for foggy days, also manufactured by Barbier Benard and Turenne, with 30 mm caps (first of this type in the Balearic Islands). In October 1953 the signal was electrified and in 1974 the tower was raised 6 meters, modifying at the same time its turret and changing the lantern. Although it was not a lighthouse exposed to the big storms, its lighthouse keepers had to take charge in more than one occasion of rescuing the castaways of some boats. On one of these occasions, on January 27, 1909, the lighthouse keeper's young son reported that a falucho was sinking with two crew members. Of the two sailors, only one could be saved, and the lighthouse keeper reported that the other had died only ten minutes earlier.
Although there was a first project by Emili Pou to install a 6th order lighthouse in this enclave, it did not materialize until much later, when a simple automated light was installed by means of a solar valve and acetylene gas flashers of the "naked flame" type. It was inaugurated on September 1, 1974 with a typical 350 mm diopter optic. The project was drafted by Rafael Soler. As the lighthouses on the island of Dragonera were also automated, both these and the Mola de Andratx lighthouse became part of the group of lighthouses whose technicians in charge lived in Puerto de Andratx, in some houses near the red beacon at the entrance to the port, which also belonged to the group of lights they had to attend to. It belongs to the first generation of lighthouses that were built without houses for the lighthouse keepers, although there were already quite a few automated beacons since the second decade of the 20th century. The urban pressure to which the area is subjected, has motivated that it is raised for a near future the necessary reforms that guarantee the reach and luminous coverage established for this signal.
