Vošćica Lighthouse

The 8-meter tall Vošćica Lighthouse stands at the northern end of Cres island, providing guidance to vessels in the Adriatic Sea.

Constructed in 1875 during the Austro-Hungarian period, this lighthouse marks a significant development in maritime infrastructure along the Croatian coast.

The lighthouse represents the maritime tradition of the region, serving as a testament to centuries of navigation in the northern Adriatic waters.

Modern remote control systems and automated operations enable the lighthouse to maintain its function as a crucial navigational aid, visible up to 3 nautical miles.

The light pattern follows a specific sequence of red flashes every three seconds, covering a visibility sector from 106 to 346 degrees.
