Yalta lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Yalta, Crimea.
Description
Yalta lighthouse is a white tower standing along the Black Sea coast that guides ships through the waters. The structure rises from a solid foundation with a beam that projects far across the sea to aid navigation.
History
The lighthouse was built in 1908 during a period of port development and growing maritime traffic in the region. It was part of broader infrastructure improvements along the Black Sea coast in the early 1900s.
Culture
The lighthouse has been a familiar beacon for fishermen and sailors navigating these waters for generations. Today it reminds visitors of the maritime past of this coastal town and the people whose livelihoods depended on the sea.
Practical
The lighthouse is accessible on foot through local roads with viewing areas along the coastline. Wear comfortable shoes since the ground can be uneven, and note that entry to the tower itself is not available to the general public.
Did you know?
