It built by the engineer that projected the one in the island of Ons, D. Rafael of the Sow, it is a building exactly equal that one: the same form, same distribution, identical tower, foundation in very similar talus It is about a same project for two different places with the only difference that one in Ons disappeared with the reformation and this, although deteriorated, subsists.
Approved its construction, auction appears for first time in 1864, on November the 25th with a budget of its contract of 231,454.64 "reales" (old spanish money).
From 5º order,it had fixed white light, lantern and Sautter apparatus, that cost 5,910.24 pesetas, a lamp of piston fed by oil and it was attended to by two lighthouse-keepers. It was lit for first time on March the 18th,1869, remaining its focal plan 14 meters over the land and 26 over the half level of the sea.
In its history there were few modifications to make a review. The first lamp was substituted, in 1879, by a Maris of only wick. In order to adapt it to the new appearances,it was substituted the apparatus and the lantern by the firm part of the optic of 4º order and the octogonal lantern of 1.80 meter which had been moved back from the island of Sálvora. At first it was provided a mechanism of screens in order to produce groups of 2+ 1 flashes, that it was acquired the B.B.T house., and lamp of two wicks, lighting with this installation on September the 4th, 1911. Two years later it would be used for the first time a new system of incandescence for vapor of Chance petroleum for hood of 35 millimetres.
For "Real Orden" on June 11st of 1920 it was provided that the definitive appearance was of 2+ 1 white flashes conserving the red sector of 90º in order to mark the shoals of "Touzas y Lobeira Chica" and others dangers toward Villagarcía and Santa Eugenia, and that the illumination was for acetylene gas. For it, on September 10th of 1923,it was placed a set of winking light AGA with flame with burnt of 30 l/ h. fed by two accumulators AK-50, with the same optic apparatus which was that retired the base and the game of screens to as. It like the gotten reach was not the one which it was waited for and the crystals got steamed up subtracting visibility, again the system was replaced by a Dalen that would utilize the drum dióptrical of 300 millimetres rescued of the buoy of "Tenlo Chico", in the island of "Tambo" of" Ría de Pontevedra" As the result was good , the personnel is suppressed that attended to it.
A new reformation, already in charge of the"Port Authority de Villagarcía" was carried out at the beginning of 1993 where was electrified by means of fotovolt energy and installed an acrylic optic of 305 millimetres with halogen lamp of 50W/ 12V. Installation with which gives service at the present time.
