Meganom lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Cape Meganom, Crimea.
The white tower of Meganom lighthouse stands on a limestone cliff overlooking the Black Sea at coordinates 44.7938231 latitude and 35.0799532 longitude.
The lighthouse has guided maritime vessels through the waters near Sudak Bay since the early twentieth century, playing a crucial role during the Crimean War period.
The surrounding area contains archaeological remains of ancient settlements, while a Buddhist sanctuary established in 1992 sits in an open-air setting nearby.
The lighthouse remains operational for maritime navigation, though access requires careful planning due to the condition of local roads leading to the structure.
Located in one of Crimea's driest regions, the lighthouse endures strong winds while marking what ancient Greeks considered the entrance to the underworld.
