Veli Rat Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse on northern Dugi otok, Croatia.
The 42-meter structure rises from a single-story keeper's house with a cylindrical tower and white lantern gallery at the summit.
Built in 1849, this navigation aid has guided maritime traffic through the Adriatic waters continuously for more than 170 years.
The lighthouse integrates the Chapel of St Nicholas in its courtyard, which now hosts maritime ceremonies and local celebrations.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse by taking a ferry from mainland Croatia to Dugi otok, followed by local transport to the northern tip.
The exterior walls display a yellow color created through a traditional technique incorporating thousands of egg yolks in the paint mixture.
