The Punta Cumplida Lighthouse, completed in 1867, is an active stone beacon standing 34 meters tall on the Canary island of La Palma in the municipality of Barlovento. As the oldest of four principal lighthouses marking the cardinal points of the island, it guards the north-eastern tip, a position it has maintained since the 19th century. The structure has endured as a navigational landmark alongside the later lighthouses at Fuencaliente (south), Punta Lava (east), and Arenas Blancas (west).
