*** About Lighthouses: Lighthouses have served as navigational aids for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways, guiding them to safety and alerting them of hazardous areas. Typically built on significant promontories or near busy channels, their lights provide a visual marking of rocks or safe entry points, often also emitting sounds like fog signals in obscured weather. Lighthouses are cultural icons, often celebrated in folklore and signaling the maritime heritage of a region. They vary greatly in size and form, from towering structures to small, squat buildings. While modern navigation systems have decreased their criticality, many lighthouses now serve as historical landmarks and are preserved for their architectural beauty and historical importance.
