Tallinn front lighthouse, Maritime navigational structure in Tallinn, Estonia.
Tallinn Front Lighthouse is a navigation structure in Tallinn harbor, Estonia. The tower stands on the coast and projects light signals to guide ships approaching the port.
The lighthouse was built in 1806 and has guided ships through the bay for over two centuries. It was registered as an architectural monument in 1999 and remains a historical landmark for the city.
The lighthouse serves as a navigational marker that sailors recognize when approaching Tallinn's harbor entrance. It remains an important visual reference point along this stretch of the Estonian coast.
The lighthouse stands directly on the coast and is visible from various viewpoints in the city. Visitors can view it from the water or from nearby waterfront areas.
The lighthouse works in combination with a rear lighthouse on land to provide precise navigation guidance as ships enter the bay. This pair of structures creates a simple but effective positioning system that captains can easily recognize.
