*** About Lighthouses: Lighthouses have stood as symbols of guidance and safety for mariners navigating tricky coastlines and treacherous waters. Traditionally built on prominent headlands or where there is a crucial shift in navigation routes, these structures are equipped with powerful lights and complex lens systems designed to project beams of light over vast distances. Beyond their functional role, lighthouses are steeped in history and lore, often featuring in tales of heroism and the mystique of maritime adventures. Architecturally, they range from simple masonry towers to elaborate structures decked with keeper’s quarters and ornate detailing. Today, many lighthouses have been automated, but they remain enduring icons of coastal areas, celebrated in art, literature, and heritage conservation efforts.
