Benghazi Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Sidi Khrebish, Libya.
The Benghazi Lighthouse extends 22 meters in height with a focal point of 41 meters, casting its light across 17 nautical miles of Mediterranean waters.
Constructed in 1922 during Italian colonization, the lighthouse endured damage in World War II and later served as a strategic point during the Libyan civil war.
The lighthouse structure incorporates Italian architectural elements from the 1920s and includes a clock displaying the national colors of Libya on its sea-facing wall.
Maritime vessels approaching Benghazi port rely on the lighthouse's navigational signals, which remain operational despite the structure's various renovations over time.
The lighthouse building combined two essential functions for the city, serving both as a navigation tower and a water storage facility for the local community.
