Historic lighthouse

A historic lighthouse is a lighthouse that holds cultural, architectural, or historical significance, often built many years ago to guide ships safely at sea. These structures served as navigational aids, warning of dangerous coastlines or guiding vessels to ports. Over time, some historic lighthouses are preserved for their heritage, showcasing unique design features and craftsmanship from their era. They often attract visitors and serve as symbols of maritime history. While many are still functional, others are maintained as monuments that reflect the importance of maritime navigation and the history of seafaring communities.
