Bicentennial Lighthouse

The Bicentennial Lighthouse or Faro del Bicentenario is a lighthouse-like monument located in Sarmiento Park, Córdoba, Argentina.

[4] The opening was attended by Cordoba Governor Juan Schiaretti who said that it was intended to serve as a city icon.

Designed by Alejandro Cohen[5] and built in the style of structural expressionism, this monument was created as a tribute to the Argentina Bicentennial.

Atop this reinforced concrete tower is an antenna that brings the total height of this monument to 102 metres.

[7] After eight months of construction and a cost of nine million pesos, it opened on June 2, 2011 while still lacking the glass panel required to make it complete.
