Baron Bliss Light, Maritime beacon in Fort George, Belize City, Belize.
The white concrete tower with red bands reaches 15 meters in height and includes a balcony that provides views over the Caribbean Sea.
Constructed in 1924, the lighthouse commemorates Baron Bliss, a British benefactor who donated two million pounds for Belize's development before his death in 1926.
The structure stands near Baron Bliss's granite tomb, becoming a central element during the National Heroes and Benefactors Day celebrations each March 9th.
The lighthouse maintains an active signal with red flashes every five seconds, guiding vessels within an 8-nautical-mile radius of Belize City's harbor.
The Baron Bliss Trust, established through his will, continues funding educational and infrastructure projects throughout Belize nearly 100 years after his passing.
