Cap Sigli Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on the Mediterranean coast near Beni Ksila, Algeria.

The white lighthouse structure rises 28 meters above the Kabyle coastline, emitting bright flashes every five seconds across the Mediterranean waters.

The lighthouse started operating in 1905 under French administration, following recommendations from the 1843 Nautical Commission of Algeria report.

The structure represents a fusion of French engineering and North African maritime infrastructure, built by Paris-based Henri Lepaute company.

Located at coordinates 36°53'40N and 4°45'32E, the lighthouse beam reaches 17 nautical miles, guiding vessels through Mediterranean navigation routes.

The facility switched to solar power operation in 1989, marking an early transition to renewable energy among North African maritime beacons.
