El Hank Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at El Hank Peninsula, Casablanca, Morocco.
The cylindrical white structure rises 51 meters above the Atlantic Ocean with a base diameter of 39 meters at its widest section.
French architect Albert Laprade designed and completed this navigational structure in 1916, which began operations in 1920 to support port activities.
The lighthouse architecture incorporates elements of traditional Moroccan minarets, reflecting the regional building methods of North African coastal structures.
Visitors who climb the 256 steps to the observation platform can see the second-order Fresnel lens that produces three flashes every 15 seconds.
The lighting mechanism rotates on mercury to generate a luminous intensity of 2.1 million candelas, visible from 55 kilometers into the Atlantic Ocean.
