Oviši lighthouse, National industrial monument lighthouse in Tārgale Parish, Latvia.
The Oviši lighthouse features a white double-cylindrical structure with an outer tower of 11.5 meters diameter enclosing an inner tower of 3.5 meters.
Built in 1814, the lighthouse replaced earlier signal fires that local settlers used to mislead ships, causing them to run aground for plundering.
The lighthouse museum displays navigation artifacts from different periods, illustrating the development of maritime guidance systems through Latvia's history.
The structure emits white rotating light signals every 7.5 seconds, reaching a distance of 15 nautical miles across the Baltic Sea.
The walls of this 33-meter-tall lighthouse measure over half a meter in thickness, incorporating both an outer and inner cylinder design.
