The Don Luis Lighthouse, also known as Farol do Ilhéu dos Pássaros, stands on the islet of Ilhéu dos Pássaros, about 1.3 km off São Vicente in Cape Verde, at the entrance to Porto Grande Bay. Built around 1882 and named after King Luís I of Portugal, it is a white hexagonal tower with a small lantern, five metres tall, set on the islet's highest point and linked by a stairway to the keepers' house below.
