About Sidi Bou Afi Lighthouse
Also known as: Sidi Bou Afi (Mazagan)
This cylindrical, dark stone tower stands 46 meters tall and was constructed in 1916. Its focal height reaches 65 meters, casting a white light with a single flash every 5 seconds. The structure comprises a round masonry tower topped with a lantern and gallery. The lighthouse is located 1.1 kilometers from the port of El Jadida, near the downtown area. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself is closed to visitors.
Why it matters: The lighthouse represents a significant example of early 20th-century French lighthouse architecture. Its consistent operation since its construction aids navigation into the port of El Jadida.
