Delimara Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Delimara Point in Marsaxlokk, Malta.
Delimara Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower with a red dome on Malta's southeastern coast. The structure marks the entrance to Marsaxlokk and is visible from the shoreline.
The facility was built in 1854 and served for a long time with simple oil lamps as a navigational aid. Later it received more modern optical systems to guide ships more safely through these waters.
The lighthouse plays a role in the maritime life of the region and shows British influence on Maltese architecture. Visitors can see today how this place reflects the local connection to the sea and the history of shipping.
The site is located on a headland and is reachable from the town of Marsaxlokk, from where walking paths lead to the lighthouse. The area offers little shade, so bring sun protection and visit best in the early morning or late afternoon hours.
The site combines a historical structure from the 19th century with a newer tower from 1990 equipped with modern radar systems. This mix shows how the place has evolved without completely losing its original form.
