About Machilipatnam Entrance Lighthouse
Also known as: Machilipatnam Entrance (?)
This square skeletal tower, built atop a square masonry base, rises 18 meters high. Located in the wetlands about 4 kilometers southeast of Machilipatnam, it stands 2.5 kilometers west of the Machilipatnam River entrance. The lighthouse was reported destroyed in 2007 and has been inactive since at least that year. Its current accessibility and operational status remain uncertain, adding to its enigmatic presence in the marshy landscape.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marked the entrance to the Machilipatnam River, a waterway important for local trade and fishing.
