Cap de Garde Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Cap de Garde, Annaba, Algeria
The Cap de Garde Lighthouse features a 14-meter tower rising from rocky shores, standing at 143 meters above the Mediterranean Sea level.
Constructed in 1884, the Cap de Garde Lighthouse marked a crucial development in maritime safety along the North African Mediterranean coast of Algeria.
The lighthouse represents an essential element of Annaba's maritime heritage, with its Arabic name منارة عنابة reflecting the local linguistic identity.
Ships rely on the lighthouse beam, which extends 30 nautical miles across the Mediterranean waters, providing essential navigation guidance day and night.
The structure combines French colonial architectural elements with local building techniques, resulting in a resilient maritime beacon against coastal conditions.
