Continuing on with the 29 May 2023 Brazil lighthouse stamp issue, we have Santa Marta L/H and Abrolhos L/H.

Santa Marta L/H was built in 1891 and incorporates a very powerful lens. It is located near the city of Laguna on Brazil’s southeast coast.

Abrolhos L/H, also built in 1861, is located on Ilha de Santa Barbara in the Parque Nacional Marinho de Abrolhos, south of Salvador.

The first lighthouse in the 29 May 2029 issue is Bailique Lighthouse. This is a minor lighthouse on the Amazon River. I haven’t found a photo of it and only a general location.

Next is Ilha Rasa Lighthouse.   This lighthouse is the oldest in Brazil and is located on an island south both the entrance to the port of Rio de Janeiro.
