Cap Ferrat Phare, Historical lighthouse in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France
The stone lighthouse stands at the tip of Cap Ferrat peninsula between Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer, marking the French Riviera coastline.
Built in 1732 to replace a 16th-century fire tower, the lighthouse was destroyed in 1944 and reconstructed following World War II.
The structure received recognition as a Monument Historique in 2012, highlighting its importance in French maritime architecture.
Located at 11 chemin du Phare in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the lighthouse remains closed to public access but provides essential navigation guidance.
The lighthouse offers panoramic views spanning from l'Estérel to the Italian coast, with two small bays, Anse de Lilong and Anse des Fosses.
