About Îlot des Singes Lighthouse
Also known as: Îlot des Singes (Stora)
The square stone tower of Îlot des Singes lighthouse stands 9 meters tall and was first lit in 1847. It is mounted on the platform of a former medieval fort and features a lantern and gallery. The lighthouse is situated on a small island just north of Stora, connected to the mainland by an arched stone bridge. Its light emits a white or green signal and has a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is a notable landmark for the Skikda area, guiding vessels off Stora and also serving as a significant tourist attraction due to its unique integration with a medieval fort.
