Meganom lighthouse

Leuchtturm Meganom is a white tower standing on a limestone cliff that overlooks the Black Sea at Cape Meganom. The structure features a distinctive white tower design with functional components for maritime navigation purposes.

The lighthouse was built in the early 20th century to guide ships through waters near Sudak Bay. It has remained operational through major historical periods, continuing to serve maritime navigation.

Ancient settlements once thrived in the surrounding area, leaving traces of civilizations that shaped this coastline. A Buddhist sanctuary sits in an open-air setting nearby, reflecting the diverse spiritual traditions drawn to this location.

The location sits in one of Crimea's driest regions with frequent strong winds that shape conditions at the site. The drive to reach it demands careful planning since local roads can be quite challenging.

Ancient Greeks considered this coastal location a significant point in their myths and legends about the sea. This mythological connection gives the structure meaning that extends beyond its navigational purpose.
