Monumento al Meridiano Cero
Monumento al Meridiano Cero / Meridian Zero Monument (highway GR 131 towards Faro de Orchilla) — this monument, close by the lighthouse at Orchilla, stands as testimony to the fact that the Prime Meridian was once fixed here before being transferred to the Observatory in Greenwich, in England. The monument is simple and highly symbolic, marking the fact that the Prime Meridian was fixed on this spot for over two hundred years.
