Chersonese Lighthouse, Maritime beacon at Cape Chersonese, Crimea.

The white tower rises 36 meters above the Black Sea coast, featuring a round base structure and a light signal visible from 20 nautical miles.

Built in 1816 at the entrance of Sevastopol Bay, the lighthouse underwent reconstruction in 1950 following severe damage during World War II.

The structure appears on postage stamps from both Russia and Ukraine, marking its status as a registered monument in the region.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse by following the coastal path from Sevastopol, with guided tours available during daylight hours.

The lighthouse continues its original function from the 19th century, guiding ships into Sevastopol harbor using modern navigation technology.
