İnceburun Lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Sinop Province, Turkey
The white stone lighthouse features an octagonal prism shape above a square base, rising 12 meters into the Black Sea skyline.
The lighthouse, constructed in 1863, marks the northernmost point of Anatolia and has provided essential maritime navigation guidance for over 150 years.
The Çilesiz family maintains a five-generation tradition of lighthouse keeping, preserving maritime heritage at this strategic Black Sea location.
The lighthouse emits four white flashes every 20 seconds, with its beam reaching 18 nautical miles across the waters of the Black Sea.
The lighthouse complex includes three additional buildings and stands on volcanic rocks formed during the Upper Cretaceous Period.
