Saint-Tropez lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Saint-Tropez harbor, France
The Saint-Tropez lighthouse is a navigation beacon located at the end of the north jetty in the harbor. The structure features a slender form with a red lantern at the top and white detailing at the base.
The original lighthouse was built in 1869 but suffered severe damage during World War II in 1944. The current structure was reconstructed in 2001 based on the design of the earlier building.
The lighthouse marks the harbor entrance and has become a recognizable symbol of the maritime character that defines Saint-Tropez. Its presence shapes how visitors understand the connection between the town and the sea.
The lighthouse is easily visible from the harbor and serves as a good landmark for visitors exploring the area. The structure is accessible from the outside and can be viewed freely throughout the day.
The structure emits a specific light pattern at night that helps ships safely identify the harbor entrance. This recognition system plays an important role in Mediterranean navigation.
