Îles Habibas Lighthouse, Maritime beacon at Habibas Islands, Oran Province, Algeria.
The white masonry tower rises 13.8 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, featuring a balcony and lantern atop a single-story keeper's building.
Constructed in 1879 during French administration, the lighthouse guided ships through Mediterranean waters until Algeria gained independence in 1962.
The lighthouse stands as a representation of maritime heritage in the region, marking the passage between European and North African waters.
Solar panels power the lighthouse system, which emits a white flash every five seconds visible from 26 nautical miles at sea.
The structure sits within a designated Important Bird Area, where Audouin's gulls and Eleonora's falcons establish breeding colonies.
