It was first lit in 1896 and automated in 1949.[1] Punta Mulas Light was the second lighthouse built on Vieques after the Puerto Ferro Light. The light was established to guide through the dangerous passage formed by a chain of reefs. It was of key importance for navigation in the San Juan Passage.[2]
In 1992, the lighthouse was restored in celebration of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's first voyage to America. The structure houses a museum featuring the maritime history of Vieques and the Americas as well as other historical exhibits.[3] It's listed in both the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones.[4]
