Mahatao Lighthouse or Tayid Lighthouse in Batanes, the northernmost province in the Philippines. Located in Naidi Hills in Barangay San Antonio, the lush green hills and the open sea provide a beautiful backdrop for the lighthouse.
The structure is a 6 story building with a gallery or viewing deck on the fifth floor. Located next to the 66 feet tower is a dwelling of vernacular architecture. Traditional Ivatan houses are made with stone or rubble masonry.
The viewing deck is a perfect location to view the whole of Batan Island from end to end, including Mount Iraya. One can also have a clear view of Sabtang Island in the south of Basco and Itbayat Island to the north.
