Finisterre lighthouse
The Cape Finisterre Lighthouse (Faro de Fisterra) is an active 19th-century beacon located on Cape Finisterre, a rocky peninsula in Galicia, Spain, historically known as the "end of the world" (Finis Terrae). Built in 1853 to safeguard ships along the treacherous, shipwreck-prone Costa da Morte (Coast of Death), the site today serves as the true final milestone for thousands of pilgrims completing the Camino de Santiago.
Designed by engineer Félix Uhagón, the lighthouse features an octagonal stone tower standing 17 meters tall, positioned on a cliff 138 meters above sea level.
Its powerful incandescent lamp emits a flash every five seconds, visible to ships up to 31 nautical miles (57 km) away.

Km 0 marker
The 0.00 KM Milestone: A famous stone marker sits right outside the complex, symbolizing the physical and spiritual termination point of the Camino trail.

The Boot
The bronze pilgrim's boot (Bota de Finisterre) is a famous monument located on the rugged cliffs of Cape Finisterre in Galicia, Spain. It sits right by the Atlantic Ocean near the iconic Finisterre Lighthouse and marks the absolute conclusion of the Camino de Santiago
The sculpture originally featured a pair of boots, but one was unfortunately broken off and stolen years ago, leaving a solitary bronze boot on the rock.
