About Salıpazarı Lighthouse
This cylindrical lighthouse stands 10 meters tall on a small wharf on the west side of the Bosporus in Istanbul, Turkey. Its white fiberglass structure features three narrow green horizontal bands.

It is situated opposite the Kız Kulesi (Maiden's Tower) and near the Kabatas port. The site is open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed.
