Beautiful spot and a great walk in nature.
The lighthouse was built in response to numerous shipwrecks along Menorca’s northern coast, particularly after the tragic sinking of the French steamship Général Chanzy in February 1910. This incident resulted in the loss of 156 lives, leaving only one survivor. Under pressure from the French government, construction commenced in 1912, and the lighthouse was officially inaugurated on September 1, 1913.
The landscape surrounding Punta Nati is known as “dry Menorca,” characterized by sparse, low-lying vegetation and rugged terrain. The area is marked by long lines of dry stone walls, interspersed with stone huts (barracas or ponts de bestiar) used by shepherds.
