Savudrija Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Cape Savudrija, Croatia
The stone tower rises 29 meters above the westernmost point of Croatia, featuring a double gallery and grey lantern that guides ships in the Gulf of Trieste.
The lighthouse began operating in 1818 during Emperor Franz Josef I's visit, marking the first installation worldwide to use coal-distilled gas for illumination.
The lighthouse represents maritime heritage through its architectural design by Pietro Nobile, incorporating local stone construction methods and heavy roof tiles for wind resistance.
Visitors can rent accommodation in the lighthouse complex through Plovput company, while the automated light system continues to operate with three white flashes every fifteen seconds.
The construction required specialized stone from nearby coastal areas, with individual roof tiles weighing up to 70 kilograms to withstand regional wind conditions.
