Faro di Bozburun, Maritime lighthouse in Armutlu, Turkey.
Faro di Bozburun is a lighthouse on the Turkish coast near Armutlu, standing about 9 meters above the shoreline. It serves as a navigation aid for ships and is a simple, solidly built stone structure.
The lighthouse was built in 1926 and marks an important moment in the development of modern coastal safety along Turkey's shores. Its construction shows how Turkey modernized its ports and shipping routes at that time.
The lighthouse reflects the maritime past of this coastal region, showing how shipping has always been central to life here. Visitors notice the straightforward building style that was typical for Turkish lighthouses of that era.
The lighthouse sits at a point with good views of the sea and is relatively easy to reach when approaching the shoreline. Visitors should know that the location can be exposed to windy conditions and sturdy footwear is recommended.
The tower has continuously served as a navigation aid since its completion, with its original design remaining largely unchanged. This continuity makes it a living example of how maritime infrastructure maintains its function across decades.
