Boujdour lighthouse, Lighthouse on Cape Bojador, Morocco
The white conical concrete tower with beige vertical stripes reaches 52 meters in height near the Atlantic coast of Western Sahara.
The lighthouse began operations in 1959 during Spanish colonial rule, replacing an earlier square tower constructed in 1903 at Fort Boujdour.
The structure represents an important part of Moroccan maritime heritage, combining North African architectural elements with European lighthouse engineering.
The light mechanism emits three white flashes every 15 seconds, providing visibility up to 44 kilometers for ships navigating the North Atlantic Ocean.
The interior contains a spiral staircase of 246 steps leading to the light mechanism positioned 70 meters above sea level.
