Lighthouse at Cape Tainaro 

The imposing lighthouse of Tainaro is the southernmost, stone lighthouse in eastern mainland Europe.

It was built by the French in 1882 and operated for the first time in 1887. It is built 20 meters above sea level and has a range of 22 nautical miles. Its square tower is 16 meters high. The stone walls of the lighthouse are externally plastered, while the cornerstones, the cornice, the parapet of the building, the arches of the windows and the entrances are marble and visible.

The first renovation of the lighthouse took place in 1930. During the years of the German Occupation, during World War II, the lighthouse remained closed and reopened in 1947 as part of the reconstruction of the lighthouse network.

In 1982, the lighthouse was automated and converted into a solar one. Today, the lighthouse is guarded by Navy personnel, who can give the visitor a tour inside.
