Vorontsov Lighthouse, Lighthouse at Karantine Pier in Odessa, Ukraine

The white cylindrical tower extends 26 meters above the Black Sea, marking the entrance to Odessa port with its red light signals.

The first wooden lighthouse built in 1845 under Admiral Mikhail Lazarev's direction was replaced by a cast iron structure in 1863 at Karantine Pier.

In 1867, the Vorontsov Lighthouse became the first electric-powered lighthouse in Ukraine and the fourth in the world, marking technical advancement.

Visitors can climb 135 spiral steps to reach the top of the lighthouse during guided tours, which operate in groups from two to thirteen people.

The lighthouse operates in tandem with a secondary beacon located 20 meters higher on Zhvanetsky Boulevard, providing continuous navigational guidance.
