About Yenikapı Lighthouse
Also known as: Yenikapı (New Gate)
This metal lighthouse, standing 6 meters tall, features a cylindrical tower painted white with two narrow red horizontal bands. It rises from an expanded base and has a focal height of 9 meters. The light emits a red flash every 5 seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. Located at the end of the breakwater sheltering the Yenikapı ferry terminal, it sits about 2 kilometers southwest of the Ahırkapı lighthouse. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed to visitors.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is critical for the safe operation of the Yenikapı ferry terminal, marking the end of the breakwater and guiding vessels into the sheltered waters.
