Carbon Cape Lighthouse, Mediterranean lighthouse in Bejaia, Algeria

The Carbon Cape Lighthouse stands on a rocky outcrop, reaching 14.60 meters in height and constructed entirely from stone blocks at its coastal location.

French engineers completed the construction of this maritime navigation structure in 1906 as part of their colonial infrastructure development along the Algerian coast.

The lighthouse represents a connection between Mediterranean maritime traditions and the architectural methods implemented during the French presence in North Africa.

Located at 220 meters above sea level, the lighthouse continues to guide vessels approaching the port of Bejaia through the Mediterranean waters.

This structure holds the distinction of being positioned at one of the highest elevations among all lighthouses in the Mediterranean basin.
