Cambalache Bridge or Puente Francés is a bridge built in 1893 which spans the Río Grande de Arecibo from Cambalache barrio to Tanamá barrio in Arecibo. It is located 100 meters west of Puerto Rico Highway 2, at kilometer 72. Like all bridges of the Compañía de Ferrocarriles de Puerto Rico, the steel to build it was imported from France. The train section from San Juan to Arecibo was completed in 1891, but it was not until 1893 that the Cambalache Bridge, spanning the river, was completed. Before the opening of the Cambalache Bridge, the train ended at Cambalache and passengers and cargo had to cross a temporary wooden bridge on horse or by ox cart. The construction of the Cambalache Bridge, also called the French Bridge, was an important connection for train transport between the cities of the north coast and the estates of Arecibo.The structure of the Cambalache bridge has not undergone significant alterations since its period of greater historical importance and has maintained a degree of integrity in its design, workmanship, materials and setting. The train route is still used for agricultural purposes. The bridge was listed on the US National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 1995.

Arecibo Lighthouse & Historical Park (Spanish: Faro de Arecibo) is a historic lighthouse located in the city of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. It is also known as Los Morrillos Lighthouse and is as a monument to Puerto Rico's complex history under Spanish colonial rule. Perched atop the rugged Punta Morrillos headland since 1898, this iconic lighthouse was the last constructed under Spain's 300-year presence on the island. Despite the collapse of the Spanish Empire following the Spanish-American war that same year, the Arecibo Lighthouse endured as a beacon through subsequent decades of change. The lighthouse was designed in the neoclassical architectural style popular during the 19th century, featuring a stately rectangular building with an attached hexagonal tower. The rectangular keeper's house measures 40 feet 4 inches (12.29 m) wide by 84 feet 2 inches (25.65 m) long. The hexagonal tower is topped by a dome made of bronze that encases the working lantern room. The original lighting apparatus was a Fresnel lens of the third order, able to project a beam of light with a radius of 18 miles to warn approaching ships. In 1931, the lighthouse was modernized and converted to electric power. Today, the lantern houses a 190mm lens that emits a bright white flash repeating every five seconds. After the light was automated in 1964, the unmanned structure fell victim to decay and vandalism without resident keepers. Sadly, the original Fresnel lens, a masterpiece of lighting engineering, met an ignoble end. The lens was damaged in 1975 and completely destroyed in 1977, severing another tangible link to the lighthouse's origins. For years the historic tower stood neglected. Despite this period of decline, the sturdy lighthouse endured as a testament to its sound construction. After years of neglect, the iconic Arecibo Lighthouse underwent a meticulous restoration in 2001 by a private company dedicated to preserving the historic landmark. It is now operated as the Arecibo Lighthouse and Historical Park, featuring interactive exhibits that bring Puerto Rico's rich history to life. Visitors can explore a replica Taíno Indian village, models of Columbus' legendary ships, slavery quarters, a pirate ship replica and cave, mini zoo, saltwater aquariums, playground, and water park. The lighthouse itself houses a museum with maritime artifacts, exhibits on the lighthouse's engineering and history, and the Spanish-American War. The painstaking restoration of this engineering marvel allows new generations to appreciate its history and purpose. In addition to guiding ships as originally intended, the Arecibo Lighthouse now helps visitors navigate the captivating narrative of Puerto Rico through engaging exhibits and displays. It once again stands as a respected coastal landmark, treasured both for its past service and the enriching experiences it offers today. While the lighthouse itself remains little changed from its original construction, the history it represents is one of conflict and conquest. Its presence is a reminder of Puerto Rico's status as one of the last remnants of Spain's once vast empire. Yet it also stands as a symbol of the island's resilience through the rise and fall of colonial powers. The Arecibo Lighthouse continues to watch faithfully over the waters it has illuminated for generations. This lighthouse should not be confused with the Cabo Rojo lighthouse, known as Faro de Los Morrillos de Cabo Rojo.
