Phare de Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Maritime lighthouse in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France.

The white stone lighthouse stands at the entrance of the port, featuring geometric patterns and a square base with multiple levels.

Architect André Pavlovsky completed the construction of this navigational structure in 1936 to guide vessels through the Bay of Biscay.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of the French Basque Country, where fishing and naval activities shape local identity.

This lighthouse forms a pair with its twin structure in Ciboure, creating a synchronized navigation system for ships entering the harbor.
