The Burgos Lighthouse or the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse is situated in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. It is a cultural heritage that was erected during the Spanish era in the Philippines. It's a 66-foot-tall octagonal stone tower on Vigia de Nagpartian Hill with an overlooking scene of Cape Bojeador.
The lighthouse was first designed by Magin Pers and Pers in 1887 and finished by the Lighthouse Service under Guillermo Brockman. The lighthouse is made up of bricks, the tower is topped with a bronze cupola then the gallery is surrounded by iron grills in different formations. This site was first lit on March 30, 1892, but as of right now, it is more than a century years old yet it is still working and still serving as a guide to every ship that enters the Philippines.
