Shabla Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Shabla Cape, Bulgaria.

The white and red striped limestone tower rises 36 meters high on the easternmost point of Bulgaria along the Black Sea coast.

The Ottoman Empire constructed this navigation structure in 1756, making it the first operating lighthouse on the Bulgarian Black Sea coastline.

The lighthouse stands among ruins of a fourth-century fortress, representing centuries of maritime navigation traditions in the Black Sea region.

The light signal flashes three times every 20 seconds and remains visible from a distance of 17 nautical miles across the Black Sea.

Located near ancient Thracian settlements, this octagonal tower features a three-story basement structure connected to the main lighthouse chamber.
