Location & Light Range
About Varna East Breakwater Spur Lighthouse
Constructed in 1903, this cast iron lighthouse stands 6 meters tall with a focal height of 10 meters. Its cylindrical white tower features a black lantern dome. The lighthouse marks the entrance to Varna's inner harbor, situated on a short spur extending west from the main eastern breakwater. It emits a green light, flashing once every 4 seconds. This structure is located 0.8 kilometers from the nearest port, Varna, and its site is open to the public, though the tower remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse, alongside the South Breakwater Light, is essential for guiding maritime traffic through the breakwater entrance into Varna's inner harbor. Its prefabricated French tourelle design reflects a common architectural style for navigational aids of the early 20th century.
