Fenerbahçe Lighthouse, Maritime navigation structure in Fenerbahçe neighborhood, Istanbul, Turkey.
The cylindrical tower rises 25 meters above the northern coast of the Sea of Marmara, featuring two galleries and a white exterior with black bands.
Built in 1856 during the Crimean War, this lighthouse guided naval vessels through the critical entrance of the Bosphorus Strait into the Black Sea.
The name of the surrounding area derives from this maritime beacon, as Fener means lighthouse and bahçe translates to garden in Turkish language.
The lighthouse produces two flashing signals every twelve seconds, maintaining a visual range of fifteen nautical miles to assist maritime navigation.
During periods of reduced visibility, the structure employs a fog signal system that activates every sixty seconds to guide approaching vessels.
