Vošćica Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.
Vošćica Lighthouse is an 8-meter tall structure at the northern tip of Cres island, serving as a navigation aid for ships crossing the Adriatic. The building operates with modern automated systems that keep it functioning day and night.
The lighthouse was built in 1875 during the Austro-Hungarian period as part of maritime infrastructure development along the Croatian coast. Its construction reflected the growing importance of navigation aids for shipping in the region.
The lighthouse represents the maritime tradition of the region, serving as a testament to centuries of navigation in the northern Adriatic waters.
The lighthouse is visible from the water and can be spotted from various points around Cres island, making it easy to locate from a distance. Visitors can explore the northern coast of the island to view it from different angles and appreciate its role in the seascape.
The light produces a distinctive sequence of red flashes that repeats at regular intervals, making it recognizable to passing vessels. This specific flash pattern helps mariners identify the station accurately and navigate safely.
