Alexandroupoli Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Alexandroupolis, Greece.
The cylindrical stone tower rises 27 meters above sea level with a wide base structure and a light mechanism at its summit.
The French Lighthouse and Cresset Company constructed this navigational tower in 1880 during the Ottoman Empire administration of the region.
The lighthouse stands as a symbol of Alexandroupolis, representing the maritime heritage and industrial development that shaped the regional identity.
The lighthouse emits three white flashes every 15 seconds, guiding vessels across a distance of 24 nautical miles in the Aegean Sea.
A marble plaque installed at the gate during the 1994 Nautical Week celebrations documents the complete history of this maritime structure.
