[3][4] Built in a similar style to other Canarian 19th century lights, it consists of a white washed single storey building, with dark volcanic rock used for the masonry detailing.

The lantern dome was attached to the flat roof of the building, on the seaward side, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

[2] In 2003, the disused structure was partially restored via a two-year programme of training in brick-laying and carpentry for unemployed youths.

The aim was to convert the building into an academy for hotel staff, prior to final conversion into a museum and restaurant.

It consists of a 39 m high cylinder-shaped tower, which is white with red bands, that supports twin galleries and a lantern with a black cupola.
