Cap Cerbère Lighthouse, Maritime navigational beacon in Cerbère, France
The Cap Cerbère Lighthouse stands at the southernmost point of France, guiding vessels through the challenging waters between France and Spain in the Gulf of León.
The current lighthouse, constructed in 1982, replaced an older structure and marks a location that geographer Pomponius Mela identified as the boundary of ancient Gaul.
The lighthouse incorporates regional architectural elements through its grey stone construction, designed by architect Lucien Guerra to harmonize with the surrounding landscape.
The structure operates independently using solar panels and provides a navigational range of 15 nautical miles across the Mediterranean waters.
The lighthouse marks the exact location where the Pyrenees mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea, creating a natural border between France and Spain.
