Cap Rosa Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Al Qala, Algeria.
Cap Rosa Lighthouse is a navigational aid on the North African coast featuring a white cylindrical tower with a black lantern at its top. The structure sits on a rocky headland that stands out distinctly from the surrounding shoreline.
The structure was established in 1906 as part of the region's maritime infrastructure development. It was built to help ships navigate safely along the Algerian coast.
The lighthouse represents an essential part of Algeria's maritime heritage, connecting the nation to Mediterranean navigation traditions.
The lighthouse is located within a restricted military zone and cannot be visited by the public. Information about the structure is best gathered from nearby coastal viewpoints.
The light pattern produces two white flashes every six seconds, visible from 19 nautical miles across the Mediterranean waters.
