The lighthouse of S. Lourenço is located in the highest part of Ilhéu de Fora. Its project was approved and executed by decree of September 10, 1886.
The initial project underwent some alterations, including the adoption of an exterior covering in white tiles, which is an improvement of recognized utility for all the lighthouses, in the opinion of the Public Works Council. The work began in 1867 and was only completed in 1870.
The lighthouse of S. Lourenço came into operation on September 30, 1870, being the first lighthouse on Madeira Island. The tower is 10 meters high and 103 meters high. Initially, it was equipped with a 2nd order lenticular apparatus (700 mm focal length), the light source being a 4-torque lamp still running on oil, which was replaced a few years later by oil. The optical rotation was produced by a clockwork mechanism and presented white light with flashes every 30 seconds. The luminous range in medium state was 25 miles. It was also equipped with a traffic light station.
In 1880 there were some repair works on the lighthouse and on the access road. Between 1911 and 1941 there was a series of repairs and renovations to the lighthouse's infrastructure.
The light source, which used to be an oil lamp, was replaced in 1921 by a BBT gas installation, the gas being replaced by oil vapor incandescence in 1930.
Changing the light source would not stop there, as a few years later (1956), the lighthouse was electrified with the assembly of generating sets, installing a 3000W incandescent lamp. The optical apparatus initially mounted as it was in very poor condition was also replaced by a 3rd order, large model (500 mm focal length).
Due to poor landing conditions, both for personnel and material, in 1976, when being unloaded, a crate with electrical equipment and spare parts for Lister engines fell overboard.
In 1983 the lighthouse was automated using the model PRB-21 system, with the REMO-21 telesignaling system and the lenticular apparatus was removed. New generating sets were also installed, with the lighthouse being remotely controlled from the S. Jorge power station.
This system would not take many years to change either; in 2000, new equipment was installed, replacing the PRB-21 with the TRB-400 system, starting to work with solar energy. From this date onwards, the lighthouse was no longer manned by lighthouse staff, being in charge of the Funchal Beacon staff.
