Tarkhankut Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Cape Tarkhankut, Crimea
The cylindrical white limestone tower rises 38 meters above the westernmost point of Crimea, guiding ships through the Black Sea waters.
Construction of the lighthouse began in 1816 using Inkerman stone transported by barges, with the structure becoming operational in 1817.
The lighthouse complex includes three keeper houses built near the tower, reflecting the traditional maritime lifestyle of the Black Sea region.
Visitors can climb the spiral staircase to reach an observation platform that provides views across the Black Sea and Tarkhankut Peninsula.
In 1883, engineers installed a compressed air fog siren system to assist ships during periods of limited visibility.
