Upper Berdyansk

The Upper Berdyansk Lighthouse is a red and white tower standing on the Sea of Azov coast that guides ships entering the harbor. Its light signals help sailors navigate safely into port, especially during night or poor weather conditions.

The structure was built in 1878 and became part of a network of coastal navigation aids across Ukraine. It has served as an essential guide for ships approaching the port since its establishment.

The red and white tower shapes how residents and visitors see the city from different vantage points. It connects the town with its seafaring past and forms a familiar part of how locals relate to their port city.

The tower sits at the eastern edge of the harbor area and remains visible from many spots around town. Visitors can view it from a distance or walk closer to the waterfront to get a better look at the structure.

This tower works in coordination with a second lower lighthouse to safely guide ships into the harbor. The pair creates a navigation system that helps sailors even in challenging conditions.
