Cap Miné Lighthouse, Lighthouse in northern Madagascar
The 30-meter white and black striped octagonal tower stands on a square concrete base near the village of Ramena along the Indian Ocean.
Constructed in 1890 as a metal tower, the structure was later rebuilt into a brick lighthouse that continues to guide maritime traffic through Madagascar's waters.
The resident lighthouse keeper Mr Bemitambo maintains the facility while sharing technical knowledge and maritime stories with interested visitors.
Access requires passing through the ORANGEA military base, with an entrance fee of 5,000 Ariary per person and travel along an unpaved road.
The lighthouse emits three white flashes every 15 seconds through a Sautter-Harle mechanism, visible up to 14 meters across the Indian Ocean waters.
Inception: 1890s
