Phare de la Croix, Maritime lighthouse in Concarneau, France.

The lighthouse stands 12 meters tall on Port de la Croix, featuring white walls that contrast with the maritime landscape of Brittany.

Built in 1848, this navigational structure initially worked in alignment with the Beuzec lighthouse to guide ships safely into Concarneau's harbor.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Brittany, standing near the Marinarium and the former sailor's shelter, now a youth hostel.

The beacon emits light visible for 13 nautical miles, operating with specific patterns documented under Admiralty number D0928 and NGA 113-472.

The current alignment system involves coordination with a light installed in the Beuzec church tower, following the decommissioning of the original Beuzec lighthouse.
