Cap Ivi Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Mostaganem Province, Algeria

The Cap Ivi Lighthouse stands 18 meters tall with a focal height of 118 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, emitting white flashes every five seconds.

Built in 1898 during French colonial rule, the lighthouse remained under French control until Algeria gained independence on July 3, 1962.

The lighthouse represents a significant element of Algeria's maritime heritage, contributing to the development of coastal navigation and trade in the region.

The lighthouse broadcasts its guiding light across 29 nautical miles of Mediterranean waters, helping vessels navigate safely along the Algerian coastline.

Local fishermen rely on the specific pattern of the lighthouse's white flashes, which serve as critical markers for their return journeys to shore.
