About Tour de Ciboure Lighthouse
Also known as: Tour de Ciboure (Saint-Jean-de-Luz Feu Postérieur)
The Tour de Ciboure is a cylindrical masonry tower standing 27 meters tall, built in 1938. It is painted white with a green vertical stripe indicating the range line. The light is displayed from a window on the top floor. The current structure incorporates the lighthouse built in 1872. The light emits a quick green flash. The lighthouse is situated at the intersection of Quai Maurice Ravel and Rue Ramiro Arrue in Ciboure, near the port.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels safely into Ciboure's harbor, with its distinct green stripe aiding precise navigation. Its construction history, integrating an earlier lighthouse into the present tower, highlights the evolution of coastal aids.
