Jaffa Light, Lighthouse in Jaffa Port, Tel Aviv, Israel
The cylindrical concrete tower rises 29 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, displaying red and white horizontal bands visible from great distances.
French engineers constructed this maritime navigation aid in 1865 under Ottoman authority to support the growing citrus fruit export through Jaffa Port.
Three generations of an Armenian family from Jerusalem maintained the lighthouse operations from 1875 until its deactivation in 1966.
The lighthouse emitted four white light flashes every fourteen seconds to guide ships, with its lantern visible from the Mediterranean shipping routes.
The glass optic system from Jaffa Light found new purpose at Ashdod Light when the port activities relocated to the new facility in 1966.
