Le Phare de Nice, Maritime navigational light at Port Lympia, Nice, France
The Nice Lighthouse stands at the entrance of Port Lympia with a square pyramidal white structure reaching a height of 21 meters above sea level.
Following the destruction of the original structure by German bombing in 1945, the current lighthouse was constructed in 1952 at the end of the sea jetty.
The lighthouse remains a central element of Nice's maritime heritage, marking the entrance to the harbor and guiding vessels through Mediterranean waters.
The lighthouse emits a rotating red light every 5 seconds with a range of 20 nautical miles, using a 650-watt lantern for navigation purposes.
The structure combines a square base with a pyramidal design, distinguishing it from traditional cylindrical lighthouse forms found along the French Mediterranean coast.
