Phare du Cap Leucate, Maritime lighthouse in Cap Leucate, France.
Phare du Cap Leucate is a lighthouse on the Mediterranean coast featuring a white square tower topped with a red lantern. The structure guides maritime traffic passing through the waters along this rocky cape.
Construction was completed in 1950 with the light first activated in 1951 to aid mariners in this coastal area. Since then it has served as a warning beacon for vessels approaching this rocky headland.
The lighthouse holds national significance as part of France's general inventory of cultural heritage, representing maritime navigation infrastructure along the Mediterranean coast.
The lighthouse is located at an accessible point along the coast and can be viewed from nearby land areas. Walking paths around the cape offer good vantage points for observation and photography.
Located at a focal height of 68.3 meters above sea level, this guarded automatic lighthouse maintains restricted access to preserve its operational integrity.
