Phare du Mont-Saint-Clair, Sète, Historical lighthouse on Mont Saint-Clair, Sète, France.

The octagonal stone tower of Mont-Saint-Clair lighthouse rises 23 meters high on the Mediterranean coast, featuring a distinctive pyramidal shape and four quarter panels.

The construction of Mont-Saint-Clair lighthouse began in 1900 following ministerial decisions, with initial work by Massol and completion by Troglia in 1903.

The lighthouse stands near the maritime cemetery and Paul Valéry Museum, representing the maritime heritage of Sète and its connection to navigation traditions.

Located at 197 Chemin du Phare, the lighthouse emits white flashes every five seconds with a range of 29 nautical miles using metal halide lamps.

The structure received recognition as a historical monument in 2011 and maintains its original 1903 architectural features despite modernization through electrification in 1938.
