The Calella Lighthouse is an active lighthouse situated in the coastal town of Calella in Costa del Maresme, 58 km northeast of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain.[1]

Its construction began on 9 October 1856, and the engineer responsible for the project was Marià Parellada.[2] The lighthouse was inaugurated on 15 December 1859.[3] With an elevation of 50 metres (160 ft) above sea level, the light can be seen for 18 nautical miles (33 km).[4] In the beginning, the lamp used oil, then later on, paraffin and petrol was used.[5] Electricity was then introduced in the Lighthouse in 1927.[6]
