Boujdour lighthouse, Lighthouse on Cape Bojador, Morocco
Boujdour lighthouse is a white concrete tower with vertical beige stripes standing 52 meters tall near the Atlantic coast. The conical structure serves as a navigation marker for vessels traveling along the North Atlantic waters.
The lighthouse was built in 1959, replacing an earlier square tower that had stood since 1903 at Fort Boujdour. The new structure reflected advances in coastal navigation technology and maritime safety standards.
The structure reflects Morocco's long connection to the sea and its role in protecting ships traveling along the Atlantic coast. It stands as a symbol of the country's maritime traditions and engineering capabilities.
The tower is easily recognizable from the coastline and accessible from the town of Boujdour. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the area is exposed to strong coastal winds and uneven terrain.
Inside, a spiral staircase with more than 240 steps climbs to the light mechanism at the top. This steep ascent gives visitors a direct sense of the tower's height and engineering design.
