The President of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands, Joan Gual de Torrella, and the President of Formentera Island Council, Jaume Ferrer, today signed the agreement to transfer the auxiliary facilities and outdoor areas of the La Mola lighthouse in order to foster the creation and development of a program of cultural and museum-related activities.

La Mola lighthouse is a public domain affiliated to the APB. With this signature, Formentera Island Council agrees that this new use will not have an impact on its day or night maritime signalling activity, and also guarantees that the lighthouse will be properly maintained.

Cultural activities that will be available in the La Mola lighthouse include a visitors' centre on the lighthouses in Formentera, a museum collection and small-scale models that could be placed in the lighthouse's courtyard.
