Pomorski svjetionik Vir je izgrađen 1881. godine na jugozapadnoj obali otoka Vira. Ovaj je svjetionik tipičan primjer velikih svjetionika koji su se u 19. st. gradili na istočnoj jadranskoj obali i jedan je od 50-tak sličnih svjetionika koji su izgrađeni u tom razdoblju. Sve do novijeg doba i automatizacije rada svjetionika on je imao posadu, odnosno, svjetioničari su s obiteljima živjeli na njemu i obavljali svoje svakodnevne poslove kako bi svjetionik besprijekorno funkcionirao. Za vrijeme Drugog svjetskog rata u ovom su svjetioniku svoju bazu imali antifašistički borci koji su održavali vezu između partizanskih jedinica na kopnu i na otoku Molatu. Svjetionik je iz odmazde bio porušen 1944. godine od strane njemačkih okupacijskih snaga. Obnovljen je nakon rata i nanovo stavljen u funkciju 1950. godine. Danas na njemu nema posade, a njegov rad je automatiziran.

The height of this lighthouse stood out. I enjoyed seeing the blue water from above. Watching the sunset from the top was nice and lighting a bonfire was an incrediblle moment

Learning of how the lighthouses help in navigation in the sea was eye-opening. I learnt a lot that i did not know.
