It is located at the southern end of an old fort, on Isla Verde, an island that has been incorporated into the Port of Algeciras.

The lighthouse was designed and built by Jaime Font in 1863 and inaugurated in 1864.

Today the lighthouse is not in service as it has been replaced by beacons at the port.
