Monuments

Built in 1927, the Boa Nova Lighthouse stands 46 metres high and is thus one of the tallest in Portugal at 57 metres above sea level. It was electrified in 1950 before being linked up to the national grid in 1964. At that point, it also began running the beacons on the sea break and the jetties to the north and south of Leixões and Felgueiras thus becoming the first remote control network ever set up in Portugal.

Close by the Lighthouse, there is the Siza Vieira designed Boa-Nova Tea House, the Boa Nova Chapel and a statue by Barata Feyo in honour of poet António Nobre.
