Stella Maris Light, Lighthouse on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel
The octagonal tower rises 20 meters above ground level with red and white vertical stripes and includes a lantern gallery topped by a black dome.
The current structure dates from 1864, constructed at the former summer palace location of Abdullah Pasha, who governed Acre from 1820 to 1831.
The original lens and architectural plans of the lighthouse remain on display at the Israeli National Maritime Museum, representing maritime navigation heritage.
Located within an Israeli Navy base near the Stella Maris Monastery, the lighthouse operates with a five-second white flash pattern visible from 56 kilometers.
The lighthouse foundation contains stones from a previous Carmelite monastery, connecting maritime and religious elements of Mount Carmel history.
