Cikoneng Lighthouse, Cast iron lighthouse in Anyar, Indonesia.

The Cikoneng Lighthouse rises from the eastern shore of the Sunda Strait, featuring a distinctive dodecagonal shape with twelve symmetrical sides along its structure.

The original lighthouse perished during the catastrophic Krakatoa eruption of 1883, when tsunami waves exceeding 30 meters completely destroyed the initial structure.

Local fishermen continue maritime traditions by sharing navigational knowledge centered around the lighthouse, which guides vessels through the Sunda Strait waters.

Visitors can access the lighthouse site through marked pathways from Anyar town, while local vendors offer fresh seafood near the entrance.

The lighthouse, manufactured by L.J. Enthoven & Co in The Hague, stands as one of Indonesia's few cast iron maritime structures, combining function with architectural detail.
